Jong Utrecht vs Jong Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
Leader Young Ajax benefited in the last weeks optimally from the missteps of NEC Nijmegen and Fortuna Sittard. On Monday evening, the team from Amsterdam will have a great chance to add a new victory to the total.
Jong Utrecht :
Young FC Utrecht is by far the worst team in the Jupiler League. The relatively young formation of trainer Robin Pronk almost never succeeds in throwing a big eye and that has led to dramatic figures after 25 matches played. Jong FC Utrecht won only three games and received the most goals (53) from all twenty teams in the Jupiler League. It is therefore no surprise that the second team of FC Utrecht can be found at the last position. Perspective is not there because the gap with Helmond Sport grew to nine points last week and Go Ahead Eagles and RKC Waalwijk are even ten points above the men of Pronk. Nine of the last ten games were lost and it will therefore be difficult for Pronk to turn the tide.
By the way, Jong FC Utrecht booked a rather surprising victory two weeks ago. In the match against RKC Waalwijk finally everything fell into the right place and after ninety minutes of football that made for a 5-2 final score. The team of Pronk worked with reasonable confidence to the kelderduel with Helmond Sport, but in that match Jong FC Utrecht again came to the short end. The hosts scored both before and after the break and that resulted in the 2-0 final score. To leave the last place, Jong FC Utrecht will really have to perform a miracle.
The upcoming game against Young Ajax is planned on a Monday night and therefore some players of the first team could participate, but at Jong FC Utrecht it is often the young talents who play minutes in the Jupiler League. In the last two games, Anouar Kali did, however, take action. The midfielder is on the road back from an injury and he used the last matches to rhythm. By the name of Ruben Hoogenhout can already be put a line. The eighteen-year-old defender was sent off the field last week and that was put on a match suspension.
Jong Ajax :
Young Ajax is gradually starting to grow into title candidate number one in the Jupiler League. NEC Nijmegen was that first, but the Gelderlanders have been far from stable in recent weeks. Trainer Michael Reiziger, who has to improvise almost every week to come to his best eleven, has managed to grab the lead with his young team. The Amsterdammers only recorded a loss in the last eleven matches and that is why it is no surprise that Jong Ajax has reported at the top of the ranking. With the current form is also good given the results of the last five duels. In Velsen-Noord, two points were lost in the game with Telstar towards the end of the game, but the other four games were all won.
Last week Jong Ajax managed to brush away the 3-3 draw against Telstar with a solid home win at FC Oss. The team of Reiziger was, thanks to the home advantage, a favorite for this game and during the match it became clear that there was not much to be had for the Brabanders. Young Ajax produced an adult contest and the team from Amsterdam ultimately owed it to the inspirations of Dani de Wit that the three points remained on the Future. The midfielder scored both before and after the break and that resulted in a resounding 2-0 victory, the sixteenth victory of the season.
Young Ajax will now work with a good feeling towards the showdown with Jong FC Utrecht. A striking appearance on the training field is Vince Dekker. The young attacker was sidelined for a year because of a severe knee injury, but now he is ready to make minutes again. Dekker could be part of the race selection this week, but a basic place seems to be a bit too early. Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether players from the first team will be added to Jong Ajax. Last Monday it was the turn of new purchase Rasmus Kristensen to rhythm.
