AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs Vitesse Prediction and Betting Tips | November 25th 2023
Ajax Amsterdam will host Vitesse at the Johann Cruijff Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have endured a highly turbulent campaign with issues on and off the pitch leaving the side in the bottom half of the table with a third of the season now gone. They were held to a 2-2 draw by newly-promoted Almere City in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a narrow victory before Benjamin Tahirovic gave away a penalty in additional time which their opponents duly converted.
Ajax Amsterdam sit 12th in the league table with 12 points from 11 games. They are 24 points behind rivals PSV Eindhoven at the top of the pile and will be desperate for a result here.
Like their opponents, Vitesse have endured an underwhelming start to their league campaign and currently find themselves languishing in the drop zone. They were beaten 3-1 by Heerenveen in their last match, taking the lead just four minutes after kickoff before a second-half red card to Marco van Ginkel saw their opponents turn the game on its head.
