Ajax vs Twente Prediction: Home team to get 3 points in this derby

The first round of the Dutch Eredivisie in the new year brought a lot of surprises. All the favorites in the race for the title failed to win and recorded draws, PSV, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord and Ajax. The giant from Amsterdam is definitely in crisis. Even in the fourth match, it did not win. Although in the last match Ajax started well and was dominating most of the match, the score at the end was 1:1, which was a big disappointed for the champion.

Twente defeated Emmen in the first match of this league since the World Cup break in Qatar. It was 2:0 for the team from Enschede, which climbed to fourth place in the table.

Ajax is in 2nd place on the table with 31 points, 3 points less than the leader Feyenoord. This team is winless in the last 4 matches in the league, after the defeat from PSV it has 3 draws. Ajax also is winless in the last two matches at home, and this match against Twente is great opportunity for the champion to gain confidence with a win, or to enter into a deeper crisis and trouble. The home ground should be motivation enough for Ajax to get 3 points here. 

Twente on the other hand is in great form in the last 5 matches in the league has 3 wins and 2 draws, and find itself on the 4th position with 30 points, only 4 points less than 1st placed Feyenoord. Twente can’t be pleased with its form as a visitor this season, and against Ajax in Amsterdam its stats are terrible, as Ajax is dominating in the h2h matches on this stadium.

The difference between these teams on the table is only 1 point, and we can say that this is direct encounter between candidates for the title. Despite the crisis Ajax is clear favorite here and it’s time for this team to end bad form. Twente can be very happy with its position and form however, this team has potential to fight for a spot in European competitions next season but not for the championship title against Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord. Ajax will win this match with more than one goal difference,
