NEC Nijmegen vs Ajax Prediction: It’s time for Ajax to end its winless streak

Ajax head into their away fixture at NEC Nijmegen after 3 matches without a win. They’ve begun the season well, and deserve their place among the league leaders, but right before the break, their form dropped. The host has been in decent shape, but it will look to improve its current league position. NEC has played too many draws, even 8 which is the highest in this league.

The host is in 11th place on the table with 17 points won in 14 matches. It has 3 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats, while at home has a win, 5 draws and a defeat. It seems that this team will easily secure a spot in the middle of the table by the end of the season, but its ambitions in the second part of the season are surely high, but first this team must learn how to convert some of the draws into wins.

Winter break came at the best possible moment for the team from Amsterdam. Ajax has 3 matches in a row without a win, a defeat and 2 draws. However, this team is in 3rd position with 30 points, only 3 less than the leader Feyenoord. It has 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats, while away from home it has 5 wins, a draw and a defeat.

 After the break, I expect to see Ajax refreshed, regrouped, and ready to go for a new title. Traditionally on this stadium Ajax is very successful and easily wins. The host has 2 wins in a row before the break and will try to continue its good run, while Ajax needs to end its bad form. Ajax has the quality to win this match and make the race for the title even more interesting.
