Excelsior vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
A contest for bacon and beans is also being prepared this weekend at Woudenstein. Excelsior is undoubtedly happy with this, where the Amsterdammers would have liked to play football somewhere on the last day of play.
Excelsior:
In Kralingen Excelsior has been doing it for years with one of the smallest budgets in the Eredivisie. The club must be very creative in getting players, but for this test the club succeeds in recent years with flying colors. Mitchell van der Gaag’s team did not run into problems throughout the season, which can be seen as an excellent performance.
The last matches of the season the club can quietly sing. Until last week there was another possibility to win the Play-Offs for European football, but this was reduced to an illusion in Groningen. A visit to the team that did not stand out in good football this season was lost 4-0. The gap with the eighth place is shed to four points and therefore can not be bridged, as only one game is finished.
For the coming season, technical director Ferry de Haan is waiting for a decent assignment. Hicham Faik has already found a new club, while also the contracts of, among others, Khalid Karami, Stanley Elbers, Milan Massop and Anouar Hadouir expire. Goalkeeper Theo Zwarthoed has already indicated not to extend in Kralingen. In addition to this group of departing or not leaving players, trainer Van der Gaag is also looking elsewhere.
Ajax:
Where they are happy in Rotterdam with a season in the gray middle class, the Ajax players are disappointed that they have not been able to play a real role in the battle for the national title. PSV won 3-0 in their own home from the team from Amsterdam, so they can not be traced anymore. This game was characteristic of the Ajax season. A lot has happened since the first day which did not do much good to the game.
Yet it is already the fourth season in a row in which Ajax has not become a champion. Given the stature and the wallet of the club, this is a very bad series. Also on the trainer change (Erik ten Hag came in the winter and the dismissed Marcel Keizer on) is still quite a bit of criticism. The game is often changeable and unrecognizable.
Meanwhile, the Amsterdam club is mainly busy with next season. The first purchases already participate in the selection. That Ajax will look different in many places next season is very likely. Hakim Ziyech would like to leave and the negotiations with Justin Kluivert are still difficult. The young winger has doubts about prolonging, while Ajax does not, in principle, draw up players with a descending contract.
