Ajax vs FC Emmen Prediction and Betting Tips | April 16th 2023
Ajax and FC Emmen will go head-to-head at the Johan Cruyff Arena in round 29 of the Eredivisie on Sunday.
While de Godenzonen set out to keep their title race alive, the visitors head into the weekend looking to steer clear of the relegation zone.
Ajax turned in a superb team performance last Sunday when they steamrolled Fortuna Sittard 4-0 on home turf.
Prior to that, John Heitinga booked their spot in the KNVB Beker final courtesy of a hard-earned 2-1 win over Feyenoord at the Stadion Feijenoord on April 5.
Ajax, who are now unbeaten in eight of their last nine home games, are currently second in the Eredivisie table, eight points behind first-placed Feyenoord.
Meanwhile, FC Emmen continue to struggle for results at home as they played out a goalless draw with NEC Nijmegen last time out.
Dick Lukkien’s side are now winless in six of their last seven home games, losing twice and claiming four draws since the start of February.
With 25 points from 28 games, FC Emmen are currently 15th in the league table, one point above 16th-placed Excelsior in the relegation playoff spot.
