Jong AZ vs Jong Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
The international period is over and that means that a complete round of the Keuken Kampioen Division will be played again next weekend. Young Ajax appears to be another team to be reckoned with this season. The team from Amsterdam will face Friday away in a away game against Young AZ.
Young AZ Alkmaar:
Young AZ currently occupies eighteenth place in the Kitchen Champion Division. From the first nine games, the Alkmaarders scored seven points. The season start was so promising with five points from the first four games, but in the meantime the last and only victory dates back to August 23, when they won 2-1 while visiting TOP Oss. Trainers Koen Stam and Michel Vonk were able to count on Ferdy Druijf frequently during the start of the season, but the striker only scored once.
Just before the international break, Young AZ was waiting for a duel against Go Ahead Eagles. The last two seasons this led to tight victories for the team from Deventer, this time both teams got stuck on a draw. Go Ahead Eagles captain Jeroen Veldmate did put his team ahead in the middle of the first half from a corner. The game of the home team looked pretty poor and the equalizer of Jong AZ ten minutes before time didn’t come as a big surprise.
Jong Ajax:
That Young Ajax would be at the top again this season is not a big surprise. The team from Amsterdam grabbed the title in the Kitchen Champion Division two seasons ago, but it disappointed a bit last year. This season there are again a lot of talent in the U23 team with Perr Schuurs, Noa Lang, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Ryan Gravenberch and Lassina Traoré. Seventeen points were achieved from the first nine games and with that the team occupies fifth place.
A championship seems to be out of the question this year with relegators NAC Breda and De Graafschap as major competitors, while SC Cambuur also has a strong start to the season. In the first few months of the new season, young Ajax is hit hard. A total of 27 goals have already been scored, an average of three goals per game. The international break was inconvenient for the team, because on 4 October the talents at De Toekomst dried up 6-0. The aforementioned five Schuurs, Lang, Ekkelenkamp, Gravenberch and Traoré were all good for a goal.
