Twente vs Ajax prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2023-05-27 12:30.
A fifth-place finish and an appearance in the postseason European playoffs has already been stamped for FC Twente, so there’s not much at stake here against Ajax Amsterdam other than some momentum ahead of that journey. Nonetheless, Ron Jans’ side will try one more time to entertain their home crowd in the regular season, a mission at which they have often succeeded. Twente are the only club other than champions Feyenoord to have not lost at home this league season (W12, D4), though they’re coming up against the one club to have eliminated them from the KNVB Cup at home.
Twente have piled on at least three goals in each of their last four games, racking up some big margins along the way courtesy of five clean sheets from their last seven Eredivisie games, albeit against opponents much weaker than Ajax. Whilst their league ranking cannot change following this weekend, a rare win at home to Ajax after failing in 13 of their last 14 attempts would be tasty.
There is no club for which so much could change during this final round than visitors Ajax. The Amsterdammers head into Sunday in third place, but are the only club in the competition that can both climb up and drop down the table. In addition to what happens here, their success (or failure) will be depending largely on the result between AZ and PSV. With three UEFA club competitions within reach, everything is on the line.
It has become evident that anything short of another berth in the Champions League will be hugely disappointing for Ajax’s beloved, but only time will tell how much of a failure the season turns out to be if they fall short. The club from the capital have remained undefeated in 20 of their last 22 meetings with Twente, so it is certainly not inconceivable that they could be the ones to end the hosts’ unbeaten home stretch.
Players to watch: Twente left back Gijs Smal has produced an impressive total of five assists in his last six Eredivisie matches in addition to a goal of his own last round. Ajax spearhead Steven Bergwijn has found the back of the net in three of his last six league appearances.
Hot stat: Ajax scored at least three goals in 80% of their 20 Eredivisie victories this season.
