Jong Ajax (home)
- Ajax Amsterdam Reserves sit bottom of the standings with 19 points from 25 games.
- Ajax Amsterdam Reserves have won two of their last five Eerste Divisie matches, drawn two and lost one (W2, D2, L1).
- The hosts have won just three, drawn five and lost five of their 13 home league matches, scoring just 18 goals.
Cambuur (away)
- Cambuur Leeuwarden are chasing promotion in 2nd place in the Eerste Divisie with 50 points from 23 matches.
- Henk de Jong’s men have been in mixed form of late, and they have failed to win any of their last three away games, drawing two and losing one.
- Their overall away record in the Eerste Divisie is strong, however, with six wins and three draws from their dozen matches away from home and have conceded an average of 1.33 goals per game on the road.
Head-to-Head
The last three meetings between the clubs have been split with one win apiece and a draw.
Key Players
Oscar Sjoestrand, with nine league goals in 23 games , leads Cambuur’s line and the visitors always have a focal point in the box that teams must respect.
Betting Insights
- Cambuur are the odds-on favourites to beat Jong Ajax when they take the field in Amsterdam this Monday at 1.48, with the hosts listed at 5.8 despite losing 4-1 to the Friesians the last time they met in this competition.
- We’re expecting a clash of these two contrasting philosophies to result in an exciting, end-to-end game, and the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.42 seems like a great option, given both teams are more attacking than defensive.
Prediction
With Cambuur struggling for form (D4, L1) and Ajax more comfortable at home, we think the correct score odds for this fixture may be a bit skewed in the visitors’ favour and the home team could get something out of this game.
