Heracles Almelo vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | October 20th 2024
Heracles Almelo will host AFC Ajax Amsterdam at the Erve Asito on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league this season, although they remain hopeful of avoiding the drop as they sit 12th in the table with nine points from eight games.
They were beaten 4-1 by Go Ahead Eagles in their last match, heading into the break a goal up following a Luka Kulenovic header late in the first half before their opponents upped the ante in the second to snatch all three points in emphatic fashion.
AFC Ajax Amsterdam, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment and have begun their climb up the table. They picked up a 3-1 home win over Groningen last time out, with Davy Klaassen opening the scoring midway through the first half before substitutes Wout Weghorst and Chuba Akpom got on the scoresheet in additional time to clinch the points for the Amsterdam outfit.
The visitors now sit fifth in the table with 13 points from six matches and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
