The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Jong Ajax
NetherlandsCurrent form
Jong Ajax have been unable to compete with teams with more experienced players this season. The Amsterdam club youth team is only in 17th place out of 20 teams, ahead of only Venlo, Jong Utrecht and Vitesse, which was hit with a huge fine. The hosts have managed to earn only 15 points in 17 matches. In the last matches of the championship, the team lost away to Volendam (0:3) and Excelsior (0:2). After that, they managed to beat their peers from Wolverhampton (3:0) in the Premier League International Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jan Faberski will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Benjamin Tahirovic, Julian Reichoff and van Axel Dongen will not play due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last eight matches have ended in a draw
- The hosts have won only one of their last 12 matches in the First Division
Estimated lineup: Reverson - Germoumi, Verschueren, Janse, Jetten - Verkuil, Stoer, Brandes - Churak, Specsnyder, Konadu
De Graafschap
NetherlandsCurrent form
De Graafschap have not played in the Eredivisie for quite some time and the visiting players are trying to fix that. Last season they managed to get to the playoffs, but already in the first stage the club lost to Den Haag, missing only one goal. The team is currently third in the table and is four points behind the direct promotion zone, with a game in hand. After an away defeat to Emmen (0:3), they managed to confidently beat one of the tournament outsiders, Venlo (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Rowan Besselink is out with a yellow card pile-up and Simon Colin with a knee injury, while Stanislas Wevers is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won six of its last eight matches.
- The visitors have suffered only one defeat in their last 12 matches
Tentative line-up: Smits - Schoppema, Hillen, Hardeman, Hernani - Warmerdam, Mahi, Naja - El Kadiri, Sentiens, van de Haar

1.43Tip and bets
In this confrontation, we will give preference to the guests. The Grafschap players are much more experienced and have a clear goal - to reach the Premier Division. For the hosts, the result is not so important, the main task of the Ajax farm club is to gain game practice and experience for young footballers. We believe that one of the leaders of the championship will be able to win and get closer to second place.
Our prediction is a victory for De Graafschap at 1.85
Bet on total
The visitors are second in the league in terms of goals scored and will probably go on the attack right away. The hosts also do not intend to sit back in defense and will definitely respond with their own counterattacks. We think that this match will be quite productive.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.62
Bet on corners
In our opinion, the game should not be closed, so we will bet on them to play on the opposite courses and earn a lot of corners.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.85
