Ajax vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
The catch-up match between Ajax and FC Utrecht is on the program on Thursday. The team from Amsterdam know that with a victory they come very close to the national title.
Ajax:
Ajax seized the KNVB Cup last Sunday. The club from Amsterdam was 2-1 too strong for Vitesse in De Kuip. The match was not one of a high level, too much went wrong on both sides for that. The final even seemed to need extra time to determine a winner, but a goal in substitute David Neres’ injury time prevented overtime. After the somewhat unnecessary European elimination three days before, in the quarter finals of the Europa League, against AS Roma, there was something to cheer for the supporters of Ajax again.
‘Celebrating with the fans is actually part of winning the cup, it should have been a big party’, Sebastien Haller told his own media that the current situation is still unsatisfactory. The striker also looked ahead to the (most likely) upcoming national title, which could possibly be won against AZ Alkmaar on Sunday. “We first have to beat Utrecht on Thursday,” said the striker, who, despite his slight dip in form, may probably start in the base on Thursday, in the game against his old club.
FC Utrecht:
With five rounds to go FC Utrecht is number seven in the ranking. On Sunday, the Domstedelingen dropped a stitch in the battle for European football. There was the chance to catch up with Feyenoord three points, but instead, the team from Rotterdam ran out three points. They won 1-2 in De Galgenwaard, in a match in which Utrecht did little offense. It looks like the team from the Dom City will try to conquer a place in the preliminary rounds of the Conference League after the 34 games of the regular season, through the play-offs.
Now the third meeting with Ajax of this season awaits. In November, Utrecht lost no chance at home with 0-3, but a month later the team from the Dom City was close to a stunt in the cup. A spectacular game in the Johan Cruijff Arena ended in a 5-4 loss. ‘Being Utrecht, we just have to be very good to be able to win against Ajax,’ coach Rene Hake looked ahead on the club website. “We know that we play against a good team.”
