PEC Zwolle vs Ajax Betting Tips
Zwolle lost 4-0 away at Heracles as a poor start to the new season continued at the weekend, while Ajax beat Feyenoord 4-0 and sit six points clear of AZ, PSV and Vitesse at the top of the Eredivisie table.
All the statistics show that Ajax would win on Friday and that the game tends to produce more than 2.5 goals and we've supported the final scoreline 3-1.
Ajax have won their last six games against Zwolle and do not lose the host against them since the 2014 Super Cup Final. Over 2.5 goals is produced in five of the last six meetings a couple and four of the duos' last six meetings have seen scores of both teams, so you can begin to see why our support for Ajax in a 3-1 victory Friday night.
The second form Eredivisie clubs headed to their latest meeting only adds weight to the predictions we won away, because Zwolle have lost four of their last six matches and Ajax have won five of them. Visitors only defeat in their last six games came in the Champions League against Chelsea the Premier League, where the match ended respectable 1-0.
Performances by both teams during the last month or so gives plenty of reasons to expect at least three goals to score and for Ajax to win the game. Over 2.5 goals is produced in four of these Zwolle last six and three of the last five games of Ajax and the visitors have won their last three away games against RKC, Den Haag, and Valencia.
We believe that Ajax will win and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Friday and we have estimated the final scoreline 3-1. Ajax head into the game as clear favorites form with five wins from their last six matches and Zwolle expected to struggle against the league leaders after losing four of their last five in the Eredivisie. History shows that it is highly likely that we will see both teams scoring goals and over 2.5 goals on Friday, but Zwolle has not managed to take as few points off Ajax since 2015.
