Ajax vs NEC Nijmegen prediction

Details:

Entering this round just three points adrift of the Eredivisie peak, Ajax know they can hardly afford any mistakes if they have ambitions of winning the title towards the business end of the season.
Luckily for them and the neutral, they’ve been winning a lot of their recent league games in high-scoring games to boot.
Currently enjoying a  run of five straight league wins, Ajax have scored 18 goals whilst conceding just 3 in reply during that time, making for a considerable average of over four goals per game.

On the other hand, NEC travel here in a bit of form without any defeats in a 90-minute period across their last four competitive games (W2, D2).
However, the likes of Excelsior and Volendam are simply incomparable to the quality they’ll face here.

• -Four of Ajax’s last five in the Eredivisie have been wins with over 3.5 goals.
• -Both teams have found the net in six of Ajax’s last eight Eredivisie home games.
• -Ajax’s league games this season have averaged 3.8 total goals per match.

NEC have lost by multi-goal margins in their last two games against the Eredivisie’s ‘Big 3’ sides (PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord) and it could well be another humbling for the forlorn play-off hopefuls here in Amsterdam.

With Ajax recent good form and NEC having a decent awayform their latest 5 games, I find the goalmarket here valuable.
Let that net bulge on both sides of the court several times this afternood in Amsterdam
