Ajax take on the visitors Go Ahead Eagles in the round 28 match of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Thursday, April 4th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam).
Having stumbled in the first half of the season, Ajax gradually climbed out of the lower part of the table and now sits in fifth place in the Eredivisie. However, the gap from the top four is too big, so the maximum that awaits the Amsterdam side in the current championship is a battle to qualify for the Champions League. But that's not exactly what interests us right now. What's interesting is that matches involving this team always turn out to be spectacular and rich in goals, regardless of Ajax's form. After 27 rounds, the goal difference for Godenzonen is 60-48, which is excellent in terms of the both teams to score bet. By the way, this bet has been successful in the last three matches of the championship involving Ajax: draws with Fortuna (2-2) and Sparta (2-2) plus a victory over Zwolle (3-1).

Last season, the Eagles finished only in 11th place in the Eredivisie. However, in the current championship, the team has a real chance to seriously compete for a spot in the Champions League. To do this, they need to finish in the top 8 at the end of the regular season. Currently, Go Ahead Eagles are in seventh place in the table and are just four points behind fifth-placed Ajax. The goal statistics for the Eagles in 27 matches are also promising for the both teams to score bet: 41-35. In only seven out of 27 matches this season have Go Ahead Eagles failed to score against their opponents.
Although Ajax are considered the favorite in the match, and I won't argue with that, they have been too unpredictable this season. Therefore, I will not bet on the home team's victory in this match, but rather on both teams to score. Ajax are strong in attack, but even in their best years, their defense was not perfect. Go Ahead Eagles have performed very decently this season. And if they don't manage to take points from the Dutch football giants, they are more than capable of scoring at least once against the hosts. In January, the Eagles lost to Ajax, but not without a fight (2-3). And in the last head-to-head meeting between the teams at Ajax's home ground, a draw was recorded (1-1). I expect at least one goal from each side this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
