AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax Prediction and Match Preview

The current form of Alkmaar and Ajax looks inconsistent. However, these two are still at alternative positions in the standings, with Alkmaar having the comparatively better position, sitting at 4^th in the list. On Sunday, we can expect an interesting clash between these two at AFAS Stadion.

• Alkmaar had a six-match winless streak in the league before sealing a 1-2 win against Sittard in their latest league match.
• Ajax drew their latest match against Nijmegen to extend their winless run to four games across all competitions.
• Ajax has scored goals in the past eight matches across all competitions.

Alkmaar’s above mentioned winless run includes a set of drawn games which is worth enough noting. Their offensive line has been consistent in that stretch and their Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis has netted 3 goals in the past five league matches. Pavlidis is the Eredivisie top-scorer at the moment too.

On the other side, three draws in the past four matches of Ajax keep them well at the fifth position in the standings. They should secure it as their competitors are well near them in the Eredivisie Conference League zone in the standings. Ajax’s Dutch striker Brian Brobbey is the main reason for them to bag the points in the past many matches. He has either scored or assisted in nine of the past 10 matches.

Recent Meetings

• Alkmaar can also rely on the recent tradition, since they were unbeaten in the past four clashes against Ajax.
• The reverse fixture ended in a 1-2  win for Alkmaar and it was their third high-scoring and both teams involving match in the past four meetings.
• Alkmaar is on a two-match unbeaten streak against Ajax at this stadium.

AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax Prediction

Ajax had a four-match winning streak in their league road trips before losing to Heerenveen in their latest match. They scored 2 against 3 from their opposition in that match. This displays their competitive potential, but that is not enough to bag a victory against hosting Alkmaar on Sunday.

The home advantage with a strong h2h form in the latest clashes inclines us to suggest a home win for this match. The strong offensive form of both is more than enough to go for the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score combined tip as the second pick here. Comparing Pavlidis and Brobbey, the Dutch striker looks more consistent and we like to suggest Brian Brobbey to score anytime as the final pick for this match.
