Ajax hosts Willem II in round 15 of the Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Thursday, December 2nd at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
Ajax is again leading on all fronts. First of all, the Jews should be satisfied with their excellent results in the Champions League. Having managed to make it to the semifinals of the most prestigious tournament several years ago, the Dutch took 3rd place twice in a row and went to the Europa League. In the current season, Sebastian Haller (he has already scored nine goals, and no one has ever done this in the opening five matches of the Champions League!) and the company have won all five games. Ajax players are also leading in their native Eredivisie. The lead is not so confident (only 33 points in the first 14 rounds) after goalless draws against Heracles and Go Ahead Eagles a month ago. But after them, Ten Hag's men won twice in a row and kept the pursuers at a distance.

In recent years, Willem II has shown very different results in the championships. After a couple of years in the second half of the standings, there was a rise to 5th place. But in the previous season, the club fell back to 14th position. It is not surprising that a new coach appeared in the summer: Fred Grim was lured from Waalwijk. The former long-term reserve goalkeeper of Ajax started in a new place very powerfully. The club from Tilburg (despite a 0-4 defeat to Feyenoord in the first round) gained five victories and a draw against Nijmegen. But since September, the Tricolors have significantly lost ground: they have not gained victories in seven rounds in a row. At first, they managed to at least tie against Twente and Fortuna Sittard. But the last four rounds ended with defeats with a total score of 2-11. As a result, Willem II that was recently among the leaders is already in a lower part of the standings.
In 2019-2020, Willem II managed not to lose to a local grandee twice in a row. The Tricolors even gained a victory in Amsterdam, and then there was a draw. But in January, Ajax finally won a 3-1 victory, putting the squeeze on the visitors in the last 10 minutes and scoring twice. Now Ajax has gained optimal momentum, and its opponent is not showing signs of getting out of the crisis. We bet on the reigning champion to win with a handicap of -2 goals.
Prediction for the match: Ajax to win with -2.0 handicap
