Ajax vs Willem II Prediction & Betting tips
Willem II said goodbye to trainer Adrie Koster. The first match without him is Thursday’s game against Ajax. Anything other than a home win would of course come as a big surprise.
Ajax:
Ajax has won its matches in recent weeks, but the team from Amsterdam does not beat their opponents with large numbers. After the top match won against Feyenoord (1-0) and the win in the cup at AZ Alkmaar (0-1), there was again triumphed last weekend with a goal difference. While visiting Fortuna Sittard, which is in excellent shape, Ajax created the necessary opportunities during the ninety minutes, only the team of trainer Erik ten Hag did not handle this too carefully. Eventually Ajax left the field with a 1-2 win.
The first attackers PSV and Vitesse lose few points, so there is the need for Ajax to keep winning. Ten Hag could opt to save a few players for next weekend’s match, when Ajax plays against AZ in Alkmaar for the second time in a short time, this time for the competition. In that case, playing time for players such as Edson Alvarez, Quincy Promes and Lisandro Martinez is obvious. David Neres is ready to play again, only a basic place may come a little too early for the Brazilian.
Willem II:
Willem II lost for the twelfth time that season last weekend. Twelve defeats in eighteen rounds are of course far too many. Especially for a team like Willem II, who finished fifth last year. These good performances allowed trainer Adrie Koster to break a game at the club management, but in top sport, nobody has unlimited and infinite credit. The curtain fell for the experienced trainer after the 1-3 home defeat that Willem II suffered against PEC Zwolle last Friday.
The match was indicative of the bad luck season that the Tricolores are going through. Initially it was played well. Kwasi Wriedt gave the Tilburg team the lead, and there were opportunities to increase that. On the stroke of half time, however, Wriedt received an (unjustified) red card, after which Willem II went under in the second half. The red print by Wriedt has since been shelved. That is nice for Thursday’s game, but it does not erase the defeat against PEC. A replacement for Koster has not yet been appointed – the assistant coaches take the honors ahead of Willem II.
