Ajax vs Twente Prediction & Betting tips
Not so long ago, this game was a top match in the Eredivisie. The Tukkers became champions in 2010, but since then a lot has changed.
Ajax :
In Amsterdam they have found the turn reasonable. New players such as Nicolás Tagliafico and Rasmus Kristensen are making a good impression for the time being. Both wing supporters came to Ajax in the winter break and both were in the starting line-up game. The team from Amsterdam does not want to give up the title yet, although a gap of seven points will have to be bridged to keep the scale up.
That gap seemed to become even bigger last week. In Kerkrade, Erik ten Hag’s team quickly came to a disadvantage. Despite the goal of two minutes, Ajax did not seem to panic. Donny van de Beek moved the equalizer ten minutes later. From that moment on Ajax did not really get into trouble anymore.
The role of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was big again in victory. The experienced striker did not play a good match at all, but was deadly in the sixteen meters. De Achterhoeker was responsible for two goals and put his total of nine hits during this season. Ajax seems to have done good business with the return of the striker.
Twente:
It is not that long ago that FC Twente was honored because of the won championship. Since the championship in 2010, a lot has changed and there is a chance that after this season the Tukkers will compete against relegation. Trainer Gertjan Verbeek has to save the season, but does not seem to succeed for the time being.
The trainer has won only one league game since his appointment in October and is doing a lot less than predecessor Rene Hake. Verbeek has criticized the game of PSV, but may also consult with himself. The coach denies it himself, but plays with five defenders, which gave quite a bit of criticism.
In addition, Verbeek shot out of his shoe last Wednesday, when right back Cristián Cuevas received his second yellow print. Verbeek followed his defender towards the stands, because he had repeatedly criticized the referee. Because of this performance, the trainer is not allowed to sit on the bench during this game. The fact that the match against AZ was lost last Wednesday seemed more a rule than an exception.
