Zwolle vs Ajax prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2024-03-30 10:15.
[p]At PEC Zwolle, the form is far from ideal, and the question theyâll have to answer here is whether they have been able to use the recent international break to find the fluency necessary to secure their survival before the final couple of rounds. Heading into this weekend, the lead ahead of the relegation zone was just six points, which gives head coach Johnny Jansen no reassurances yet.[/p]
[p]Thatâs because of all 18 Eredivisie clubs, Zwolle is the side that collected the fewest points over the last five rounds (D1, L4). It was announced during the week that the career of club icon Bram van Polen may end in May, so the newcomers will be doing everything they can to ensure the right backâs potential farewell isnât accompanied by a sad return to the Eerste Divisie.[/p]
[p]Upcoming opponents Ajax have entirely different challenges. The team from Amsterdam were in fifth place on the table with 41 points from 26 matches and are now somewhat dependent on Feyenoord for their European ambitions in the 2024/25 season, as the Dutch slot in the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Europa Conference League will drop down from fourth to fifth if Feyenoord win the KNVB Cup and âdouble qualifyâ for European football.[/p]
[p]It has become definitively clear in Amsterdam that John van ât Schip will no longer be head coach in the Johan Cruijff ArenA after the next eight league matches (and potentially postseason playoffs), as a diligent search for his successor is taking place. Ajax havenât tasted victory since a home win against Utrecht in early March. In addition to the major slip-up at Aston Villa, there were draws against Villa, Fortuna Sittard and Sparta. Just before the winter break, they failed to beat PEC at home (2-2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Lennart Thy (G10, A2) scored the consolation goal against Sittard in PECâs last league game, whilst Ajaxâs Chuba Akpom (G7, A1) proved his value against Sparta with a goal and an assist.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Ajaxâs last six Eredivisie games saw the home side lead at half-time, including 1-0 results in the most recent five.[/p]
