Ajax vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
Ajax comes into action early on Sunday afternoon. FC Utrecht is the opponent of the Amsterdam team in the Johan Cruijff Arena.
Ajax:
Last Tuesday, Ajax played a European game that the football world could not talk about. It is not often that a team that manages to take a 1-4 lead in the second half may still be happy with a 4-4 final score, but this happened on Tuesday in London with Ajax. After a double red card, Ajax had to make every effort to achieve a reasonable result on Stamford Bridge, visiting Chelsea. With two games to play, Ajax still has good papers for a place in the next round.
For the people of Amsterdam it is for the time being a lot more exciting in the Champions League than in the Premier League. Due to a weak PSV series, Ajax is now on a good lead. The AZ in good shape is the first attacker, behind a six-point deficit. Given the many weak teams in the Dutch league, it is not obvious that Ajax will suffer a lot of point loss this year. The prospects for the renewal of the league title are therefore excellent.
FC Utrecht:
After twelve games, FC Utrecht is in a deserving fourth place in the Premier League. The Domstedelingen are working on a good series. Fortuna Sittard in Utrecht was played to a big 6-0 defeat last Sunday. Including the cup match against Excelsior ’31, it was the fourth consecutive victory for the team of John van den Brom. Simon Makienok, who was absent for a long time, scored the last goal in the match against Fortuna on behalf of the Domsted players, after he had also been accurate in the match against Excelsior ’31.
Utrecht is a club against which Ajax regularly loses points. Last year, Utrecht lost twice to the capitals, but in the previous season they managed to win 1-2 in Amsterdam. Zakaria Labyad, now under contract with Ajax, scored twice for FC Utrecht in that game. Van den Brom will probably not change much in his line-up from last week’s match. Mark van der Maarel is expected to remain in the left back position.
