Eindhoven Ajax II betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 15^th position of the league, with 1 point won. In their debut they tied in an away match against Jong PSV, by (2‑2). In the second round, they tied in a home match against MVV Maastricht, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Ajax has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 14 of the last 19 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 19 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 10 of their 27 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Jong Ajax has managed two draws at the start of the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025 season and is showing a pattern that was characteristic of them last season: a team with strong offensive production but defensive vulnerabilities. This is evident in their position as the second highest in terms of shots on goal, with an average of 18.5 shots per game, and third in shots on target with 7.5 per match. However, they are also the second worst in terms of tackles, with exactly 13 tackles per game, and the third least foul-prone, committing 7.5 fouls per game. It’s important to note that Jong Ajax is a reserve team competing in the league to develop players who will eventually be used by the main Ajax squad. Since the main team will have a break over the weekend to prepare for the UEFA Europa League playoffs, it’s expected that Frank Peereboom will field Jong Ajax with the best available players, with only the uncertainty of whether he will stick with the 4-3-3 formation or revert to the 4-2-3-1. Defensively, English goalkeeper Charlie Setford stands out as the league’s top shot-stopper, averaging 5.5 saves per game. Offensively, the standout player is left winger Jaydon Banel, who is the third highest finisher in the league with 4 shots in the first round and 6 in the last match.

Confirmed Lineup: C. Setford, Lucas Jetten, Jorthy Mokio, Aaron Bouwman, Nick Verschuren, Julian Christiaan Brandes, Gerald Alders, Rico Speksnijder, Don-Angelo Christoffel Annum-Assamoah Konadu, Julian Rijkhoff, Jaydon Amauri Banel.
Coach: J. Heitinga.
