Betting Insights
- We’re hedging Fortuna’s odds at 4.16 as the hosts are in reasonable form and they’ll fancy their chances of pulling an upset if they can stifle the Ajax attack. Our Fortuna Sittard vs AFC Ajax betting tips therefore highlight value on the home side.
- Ajax will attempt to dominate possession and create numerical overloads in Fortuna’s third of the field, either by pressing or pushing the full-backs up the field in a fluid 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system.
- Fortuna will play a compact, defence-first block under Buijs and aim to hit Ajax on the counter-attack or from set pieces.
- The Over 2.5 goals line is heavily favored at 1.63, but the evidence points to this being a chess match between two teams with different attacking identities.
Prediction
Ajax have the superior squad and a lead in the H2H record and so we’re confident that Ajax will grind out a victory. The Fortuna Sittard vs AFC Ajax betting tips still suggest looking closely at home form before making a final call.
