Ajax v AZ Alkmaar Betting Tips [12 December 2021]

Ajax host Alkmaar on Matchday sixteen of the Eredivisie at the Amsterdam Arena. The hosts are at the top of the league standings with thirty-six points from fifteen matches while Alkmaar find themselves at eighth place with twenty-three points from fifteen matches. Ajax come into the game with a 4-2 win over Sporting in the Champions League. They also won their last Eredivisie game against Willem II Tilburg with a 5-0 scoreline. Ajax are now on a five-match winning run and have not lost a single match in their last eleven fixtures. They have been a force to be reckoned with in home games and have not lost a game at the Amsterdam Arena in their last six home matches.

Alkmaar are on a decent run of form themselves and have won each of their last three matches across all competitions and are unbeaten in their last six matches. They come into the game with a 1-0 win over Randers in the Europa Conference League and have also beaten Sparta Rotterdam with a 3-1 scoreline at home in their last Eredivisie fixture. However, Alkmaar have struggled to win away from home and are winless in their last four games on the road. Alkmaar also have lost each of their last three meetings with Ajax.

Ajax are on a fine run of form and are favourites to win the league by the end of the season. Alkmaar have seen a change in fortune in terms of recent results but do not have enough quality to win at the Amsterdam Arena against a high flying Ajax side. We are backing Ajax to lead at both half time and full time.
