Waalwijk vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | September 29th 2024

Waalwijk will host AFC Ajax Amsterdam at the Mandemakers Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have endured a near-abysmal start to their league campaign and sit rock-bottom in the table with zero points from six matches.

They were beaten 2-1 by Sparta Rotterdam in their last match, finding themselves two goals down before substitute Richonell Margaret halved the deficit midway through the second half.

Meanwhile, AFC Ajax Amsterdam are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and will be looking to carry that momentum into league action this weekend. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Go Ahead Eagles in their last league outing but returned to winning ways in style, thrashing Besiktas 4-0 at the Johan Cruijff Arena in their Europa League opener on Thursday.

The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place with seven points from four matches and will be looking to add to that tally come Sunday.

Waalwijk vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction

Waalwijk are on a wretched seven-game losing streak in league action and have won just once in the Eredivisie since March. They are without a win in their last seven games at the Mandemakers Stadion and could struggle here.

Ajax on the other hand are on a five-game unbeaten run, picking up four wins in that period. They have been the dominant side in this fixture historically and should come out on top on Sunday.
