Twente vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
FC Twente and Ajax open the football Sunday in the Premier League. The Amsterdammers have had little trouble with their national opponents lately. Will Twente change that?
FC Twente:
FC Twente can provide nice figures after fourteen matches. With eighteen points earned, the East Netherlands team is a solid mid-engine. The relegation zone is currently far away for the Tukkers. Last week, a defeat was suffered against VVV Venlo. Initially, Twente had chances to score, but they did not succeed. After two goals from the home club, Twente was unable to make a real fist. In Limburg, 2-1 was lost.
“Of course it will be a very tough game to get a result, but we will go for that,” said coach Gonzalo Garcia on the club website of the Tukkers about Sunday’s game. Twente has good memories of the last home game against the team from Amsterdam. Two seasons ago, Twente won in the eighth final of the KNVB Cup after penalties from Ajax. In the previous seasons, the Twente also did well at home. We have to go back six years for a win by Ajax in the Grolsch Veste. Garcia also has a complete fit selection on Sunday.
Ajax:
The club from Amsterdam is currently far too strong for most teams in the national competition. PSV seemed to be able to keep pace for some time, but the players from Brabant lose point after point and are now at a backlog of eleven points. Only fellow Dutchman AZ Alkmaar can still remain somewhat in the footsteps of Ajax. Last week Ajax settled simply at home with Heracles Almelo. The Heracmen were defeated with 4-1.
Midweeks Ajax’s focus had to be shifted back to the Champions League. Erik ten Hag’s team recorded a new victory in this. OSC Lille was beaten 0-2. Hakim Ziyech and Zakaria Labyad were not fit for the game. Behind the name of Ziyech there is a question mark for Sunday, Labyad will not be able to play anyway. Daley Blind and Joël Veltman had to watch Lille through a suspension. Normally they return to the starting eleven on Sunday.
