Feyenoord v Ajax Betting Tips [19 December 2021]

Dutch giants Ajax find themselves in an unfamiliar position ahead of their Match Day 17 outing in Eredivisie away to Feyenoord. They are placed second, tied on 36 points with their hosts, making this one unmissable encounter. Feyenoord go to this game right after their elimination from the Dutch Cup in a 2-1 loss to Twente, and they had earlier drawn 1-1 with Groningen. They have managed just one clean sheet in their last five matches but have scored in all. Both sides have scored in four of their last five matches, while in the last nine league matches, they are unbeaten.

A 2-1 loss at home to AZ in their last league game saw Ajax drop to second in the standings, leapfrogged by PSV. They will be eyeing three points here so they can go back on top, but Feyenoord will also have the same target, both sides being just a point behind. Ajax recovered from the loss with a 4-0 win over Barendrecht in the Dutch Cup. Each of their last four matches has produced over 2.5 goals and they have three clean sheets in the five matches. Ajax are the best scoring side in the league at the moment, with 49 goals while they are by far the best defensive side having conceded just four times.

Ajax are looking to bounce back after their loss to AZ, while Feyenoord, who have been eliminated from the Dutch Cup, will be hoping for three points at home. The possibility of going top with a win here will guide these teams’ targets here but it is Ajax who seem to have the upper hand, having dominated Feyenoord in previous meetings. The champions responded to their loss with a big win in the Dutch Cup and will be favorites here too. Go for Ajax to win.
