AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs Almere City Prediction and Betting Tips | December 15th 2024
AFC Ajax Amsterdam will host Almere City at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in recent games and will be looking to turn things around when they return to league action on Sunday.
They were beaten 2-1 by AZ Alkmaar in their last league outing, conceding twice in the second half before Mika Godts pulled one back for the Amsterdam outfit late in the contest. They were then beaten 3-1 by Lazio in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday and will be looking to put out a response here.
Almere City have endured an overall difficult season and are among the relegation favorites at this stage of the campaign. They were beaten 3-1 by high-flying Utrecht in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
The visitors remain rock bottom in the Eredivisie with just six points and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend.
