Almere City have become overwhelming favourites to be relegated to the second division this season. With 14 points accumulated in 23 games, the home team sits rock bottom in the Eredivisie standings.
Almere squandered a one-goal lead in their latest league match against Feyenoord to be on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline away from home. That was their third defeat in five league games.
However, that's the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their poor form in the Eredivisie. Only two wins have been recorded by the hosts in 13 games (D2, L9). This raises doubts about their chances of a win here.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Ajax Amsterdam have been ruling the Eredivisie this season after their horrendous 2023-24 campaign. They currently lead the league with a five-point cushion. 57 points have been accumulated by the visitors in 23 games.
The Amsterdammers have been plagued with injuries with nine of their players in the nursing room. However, they haven't let that demotivate them as they come into this match boasting an eight-match winning streak.
One of those wins came over the weekend against Go Ahead Eagles. Second half goals from Brian Brobbey and Oliver Edvardsen were enough to see the team secure a comfortable 2-0 home win.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-3-3
Matheus; Gaaei, Rugani, Baas, Hato; Taylor, Klaassen, Fitz-Jim; Godts, Brobbey, Edvardsen

Expert Betting Tips
Almere City will be desperate to avoid another loss in the Eredivisie if they are to have a chance at survival this season. Looking at their 15 goals scored far - the league's lowest - there's a high possibility they might fail to walk away with even a point in this one.
Ajax Amsterdam's growing injury list has not been a problem for head coach Francesco Farioli and I don't think it should be a problem now against a side they defeated 3-0 in the reverse fixture. I'm backing the visitors to win here combined with a total of over 1.5.
Our main prediction for the match: W2 & TO 1.5 for 1.63 with 1xbet.
2nd prediction: Both Teams To Score - No for 1.87 with Betway.
3rd prediction: Anytime Goalscorer - Brian Brobbey for 2.10 with Bet365.
