Ajax vs Watford Prediction & Betting tips
It is no secret to anyone that the pace of play will be opened from the initial whistle, as both teams always go forward without speculating. Remember that tulips have a defined style of play, which always allows them to generate many goal situations. Of course, despite this, you may end up yielding at least one goal due to the imbalances you are still having in your defensive zone.
Ajax :
The Dutch team had a great campaign 2018-2019 to achieve the domestic title and the Dutch Cup. He was about to play the final of the Champions League, but lost it due to errors of his own. Now the goal of the squad is to recover at the exit of important elements like De Jong and De Light, which changed their football destiny.
This will be the fourth friendly preparation for Ajax, which aims to “release” the legs of the players after a strenuous preseason. The first was a 2-11 win at KVV Quick 20, while the second was a 1-1 draw against Danish Aalborg. The third was against Turkish Basaksehir last Sunday morning (triumph 2-1 after winning 1-0 in the first half).
As an added fact you should know that the tulips are scoring and conceding goals with relative ease, costing them to be balanced at certain times of their matches. That yes, they are still lethal in attack when they have spaces to propose and unbalance.
Watford:
The team’s season can be classified as acceptable to some extent, since it added 50 points in total (14 wins, 8 draws and 16 falls). Of course, his performance dropped a lot in recent times, showing it by adding 4 games without winning and 3 consecutive losses. He scored 52 goals and gave 59 on his fence, proving to be effective in attack and irregular at the time of collective transitions (defense-attack and attack-defense).
As a visitor, he registered different scores, product of 6 wins, 5 equalities and 8 defeats (26 goals in favor and 31 against). This will be his first preparation duel in the season, being feasible that all players are somewhat “hard” for the great effort made.
The logic indicates that Watford can convert a goal, regardless of whether he plays well or badly. And it can do it by means of some punctual action or using the stopped ball. The long balls are also another variant that you can use.
This will be the first duel that both teams have in the Netherlands, since they had never before faced in the European context.
