Vitesse vs Ajax
Dutch Eredivisie
Date: 26 February 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 13:30 UK / 14:30 CET
Venue: GelreDome (Arnhem).

Ajax will continue the pursuit for Feyenoord at the top of the Eredivisie table on Sunday afternoon when they visit GelreDome for the Gameweek No 23 clash against Vitesse.

The visitors seem to have found the wanted rhythm in the domestic league under new manager Johnny Heitinga.

They have won four Eredivisie games on the spin to cut the gap behind leaders Feyenoord to just three points.

The latest of their victims were Sparta Rotterdam in what was a one-way street from the first to the final whistle last weekend in Amsterdam.

Dusan Tadic completed a brace in the 4-0 win over Sparta, while youngsters Kenneth Taylor and Mohammed Kudus also added their names to the scoresheet on the occasion.

Ajax had a tough game in the UEFA Europa League against Union Berlin on Thursday night but there are no doubts their main stars will be ready to feature here in another very important domestic league affair.

Vitesse are going through rough times in this term of Eredivisie. They suffered another unexpected defeat last Saturday, falling 2-0 away at bottom-half FC Volendam.

The fact that Vitesse are just six points above the red zone line says enough about their performances in this term of Eredivisie.

Vitesse vs Ajax Head-to-head

• As bad as they were so far in the season, Vitesse still managed to hold Ajax to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at Johan Cruijf Arena.
• Ajax only have 16 wins in the previous 31 away matches against Vitesse but they do have six wins and two draws in the last eight H2H meetings with Vitesse.
• We have seen at least three goals in each of the previous 13 head to head outings between these rivals.

Vitesse vs Ajax Prediction

Backing goals is always the way to go in the clashes between Vitesse and Ajax. The fact that at least three goals were scored in each of the last 13 H2H matches says enough. You can back the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.57 odds.

Knowing how impressive Ajax have been offensively in the recent weeks under Heitinga, we are tempted to back the Away win & Over 3.5 goals FT pick at the sky-high 3.20 odds. The braver tipsters can go with Ajax to win both halves at the 3.50 odds.

Vitesse vs Ajax Betting Tips

• Ajax to win & Over 3.5 goals FT @ 3.20 (11/5)

• Ajax to win both halves @ 3.50 (5/2) odd.
