Ajax II AZ II betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a clash between reserve teams that have been merely fulfilling fixtures since the beginning of this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 season. Nonetheless, they are the best reserve teams in the competition. Jong Ajax stands out for having the second-highest average possession of the ball and boasts the third-best home defense. On the other hand, Jong AZ shines as the club with the most tackles in the league. In their last direct encounter on 18-09-2023, in the 5th round of this season, Jong AZ won 5-2 at home. Considering all of this, we will bet on the "Double Chance & Total Goals" market, more precisely on the option "Draw or Jong AZ and Over 1.5 Goals."

Preview
Ajax and AZ II face at Sportpark De Toekomst, in a match for the 38th round of the Eerste Divisie. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 18‑09‑2023, Jong AZ got a home win by (5‑2). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 12‑05‑2023, in a match for the Eerste Divisie, Jong AZ won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by Ar'jany Martha (86' ), for Ajax, and by Iman Griffith (74' ) and Zico Buurmeester (52' ), for AZ II. Although this is a match between 14th and 10th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 10th best in home matches and the 13th best in away matches.

Analysis Ajax

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 40 points won, after 10 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Roda JC Kerkrade, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against VVV‑Venlo, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 29 points, against only 11 points in away matches. For the league, Ajax won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 19 of their 37 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Jong Ajax has been merely fulfilling fixtures in this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 since the beginning of the competition and currently holds the 14th position as the best possible final standing for this season. The team aims to bounce back from a three-game winless streak, having lost two games and drawn one. To achieve this, they rely on their solid defensive performance at home. With 19 goals conceded in 18 home matches, Jong Ajax boasts the third-best home defense in the league. Additionally, they have the second-highest average possession of the ball, with a rate of 54.9%, and commit the fewest fouls in the competition, averaging 9.4 fouls per game. Coach Dave Vos faces a dilemma regarding whether he can field the same starting lineup, based on the 4-2-3-1 formation: the center-back and captain Tristan Gooijer sustained an injury in the last match. If ruled out by the club's Medical Department, he will likely be replaced by Alvaro Henry. It's also possible that left-back ArJany Martha, hailing from Curaçao and the second-best tackler in the division with an average of 2.8 tackles per game, may return to the starting lineup in place of Oualid Agougil.

Confirmed Lineup: Sten Kremers, N. Verschuren, Rida Chahid, Alvaro Henry, Kian Fitz-Jim, Silvano Vos, Rico Speksnijder, Oualid Agougil, Yoram Boerhout, Jaydon Banel, J. Rijkhoff.
Coach: J. Heitinga.

Analysis AZ II

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 53 points won, after 15 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against TOP Oss, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against MVV Maastricht, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 15 points in away matches and 38 points at their stadium, with 39 goals scored and 24 goals conceded at home, against 19 goals scored and 36 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches AZ II has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 37 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 3.

Jong AZ, like all other reserve teams, has been merely going through the motions throughout the season, but has already symbolically secured itself as the best reserve team in this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024. Currently sitting in 10th place, they could even finish the league in 7th place, although they won't drop below the 11th position in the worst-case scenario. However, there's one final challenge for Jong AZ: to return to winning ways away from home after six consecutive winless matches on the road, comprising three draws and three losses. The team's main characteristic is its strong defensive application, making them the league's top tacklers with an average of 17.4 tackles per game. Coach Leeroy Echteld doesn't have any new known absences and might even field the same starting lineup from the last game, based on the 4-2-3-1 formation, with emphasis on right winger Jayden Addai, the league's second-best finisher with a rate of 1.3 shots on target per game.

Confirmed Lineup: Hobie Verhulst, Jorn Berkhout, Sem Dekkers, Jurre van Aken, Loek Postma, Finn Stam, Dave Kwakman, Job Kalisvaart, Ro-Zangelo Daal, R. Kewal, Damienus Reverson.
Coach: M. Vonk.
