Go Ahead Eagles vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2024
Go Ahead Eagles will host Ajax Amsterdam at De Adelaarshorst on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home team have had mixed results of late but continue their push for a top-half league finish. They played out a 1-1 draw against Excelsior in their last league outing but returned to winning ways in style days later with a 7-1 demolition of De Treffers in the second round of the KNVB Beker campaign.
Go Ahead Eagles sit sixth in the league table with 23 points from 16 games. They are just two points behind their weekend opponents in fifth place and will leapfrog them with a win on Sunday.
Ajax Amsterdam have endured a largely turbulent campaign although they remain hopeful of securing Champions League football at the end of the season. They played out a 2-2 draw against PEC Zwolle last time out in the Eredivisie before suffering a shock 3-2 defeat to amateur outfit Hercules in the KNVB Beker last month.
