We’re Expecting Ajax to Win

There’s a realistic prospect that we’ll see Ajax land a win and they are available at 2.05 to beat Utrecht. We think that the Full-Time Result market offers bettors a value pick.

2-2 Draw When Teams Last Clashed

FC Utrecht won their last game 3-1, making it back-to-back home victories. This was recorded at Stadion Galgenwaard against FC Groningen. Ron Jans' men recorded just 39% possession and had four shots on target, with Souffian El Karouani, Yoann Cathline and Sebastien Haller each scoring one goal.

Ajax won their previous game 2-1. This win at Koning Willem II Stadion against Willem II was their seventh away victory on the bounce. The Sons of God enjoyed 67% possession and managed six shots on goal, with Oliver Edvardsen and Wout Weghorst finding the net.

Johan Cruijff ArenA hosted the last head-to-head when home side Ajax drew 2-2 with Utrecht. The previous 10 H2H meetings have ended in six Ajax victories, two draws and two Utrecht wins.
