On Monday, Jong Ajax, the Ajax Amsterdam reserve team, and Almere finished the 21st matchday in the second Dutch league. Jong Ajax can not get into the Eredivisie, since the first team of the club is already playing. This does not prevent the reserve from always giving everything. And even against Almere is a victory.
Jong Ajax
Jong Ajax is currently second in the Eerste Divisie. The retirement of the top rider Venlo is seven points after his victory at the weekend. Jong Ajax can not rise as mentioned, but the team delivers strong performances, which also underpins second place. Currently, the Reserve of Ajax Amsterdam has a 12-4-4 record at 50:26 goals. Jong Ajax shoots an average of 2.5 hits per game. However, the team also collects one goal per match, which for a second is already much. At home, Jong Ajax has a strong 8-1-1 record and is thus the best home team. The only homeplayer was against Venlo and the runners-up was tough. Jong Ajax is even more striking at home. In ten home matches, Jong Ajax scored 31 goals, an average of 3.1 goals per home game. From the winter break the team came out with a goalless 0: 0 at Emmen. That was after five previously played in a row once again a points division, but overall the eighth undefeated mandatory game in series.
Almere
Almere is ranked eighth after the weekends with his 33 points. With a three at Ajax, the team could jump to sixth place. Away, however, there were two defeats in a row and Almere has been unbeaten since three games. The away balance of three wins, two draws and five defeats at a total of 19:23 goals is also not really frightening. At home, Almere is already more powerful and has a double score of 7-1-2 in their own stadium twice as many points as abroad. Almere also started with a draw after the winter break, but a total of four goals fell in the game against Volendam and the match ended 2: 2. With a total of 41 goals, Almere is the third-best offensive in the league, despite the fact that all other teams already have one more game apart from Jong Ajax. In spite of so many goals scored, Almere has only a goal difference of plus six, as the team has already collected a whopping 35 hits. Almost four of them won their first game against Jong Ajax in the first leg, when the team lost 1: 4 against the guests.
Prediction: Over 2,5 goals
Odds: 1.45
