Feyenoord vs Ajax Prediction

Feyenoord are currently top of the league table and have won four of their last five league games. They are four points ahead of second-placed AZ Alkmaar and have done well to create some gap between them and perennial title contenders Ajax, who lie third.

Brazilian striker Danilo will be familiar to Ajax fans. The 23-year-old was part of Ajax's academy and even scored nine goals for the senior side before moving to Feyenoord on a permanent deal. Turkey international Orkun Kokcu has been touted for a big move for some time now, and the 22-year-old has continued to perform well.

Ajax, on the other hand, are third and have not won any of their last five league games. Many Ajax fans are already looking at the Erik ten Hag era in sepia-tinted tones, with current manager Alfred Schreuder earning ire for his comments before and after games.

His comments would be bearable if Ajax's performances were good, but that has not been the case for some time now. It doesn't help Schreuder's cause that his predecessor was the wildly favorite and immensely successful Ten Hag.

While not many are expecting Ajax to play peak Ten Hag football immediately with a new set of players and under new management, there is nothing to suggest that that will be the case in the future.

Recent seasons would suggest Ajax have a clear upper hand, but it is hard to indicate that under the current regime. A draw seems to be on the cards.

Prediction: Feyenoord 1-1 Ajax
