Twente hosts Ajax in round 16 of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Thursday, January 14th at De Grolsch Veste (Enschede)
Pride of the East started 2021 with a landslide victory. On January 9, Twente hammered Emmen on the road. Vaclav Cerny became the hero of that meeting. The Cech, who was raised at Ajax and was once considered an incredibly promising attacking midfielder, scored twice himself and assisted Menig. In general, Vaclav found himself in a new team, where he got in transit through Utrecht. He scored six times and made seven assists in 15 games and even got into the national team of his country. But at the same time, not he, but 21-year-old Danilo Pereira (another representative of the Ajax school), is the main star of Twente now. The Brazilian scored 11 goals (only three from the penalty spot) and made five assists. But the team lacks stability, as it alternates victories with defeats.

Ajax remains the leader of the Eredivisie standings. But it has not managed to win in two matches in a row. On December 23, playing on Willem’s field, the champion opened the scoring in the 4th minute but allowed the opponent to equalize in the 2nd half. And on Sunday, January 10th, hosting PSV in Amsterdam, Ten Hag's team conceded two goals in its net by the middle of the first half - Zahavi scored a double after Malen's passes. Before the break, Quincy Promes was able to score a goal, and neither domestic troubles nor rumors of a possible return to Spartak Moscow did not prevent him. After a break, Antony leveled the score after an assist from the January newcomer, Sebastian Haller. Although 2-2 was issued already in the 65th minute, and the teams had about half an hour to pull out the victory, the match ended in a peaceful outcome.
Twente is a rather unpleasant opponent for Ajax. In recent years, it has been taking points from the Amsterdam grandee on an ongoing basis. By the way, Pride of the East managed to win on the road in December (2-1). Ajax is not in the best shape right now, and an opponent who is inconvenient for the champion can take advantage of this. We bet that Twente will win with a handicap of +2 goals.
Prediction for the match: Twente to win with +2.0 handicap
