Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with AZ Alkmaar, Ajax will be aiming to clinch their 36th Eredivisie trophy when they host Heerenveen to their Johan Cruijff Arena on the penultimate day of the season. The Amsterdammers are one win away from defending their title, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Heerenveen on Wednesday evening. Important winger Antony remains in the recovery room, as well as Gravenberch, Labyad, and Martinez, while Ghana international Mohammed Kudus is pushing for a start.
De Superfriezen, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Vitesse 2-1 in their last league match. Ola Tobiasen’s troops are eyeing a spot in the Conference League, but they should not be looking for points at Johan Cruijff Arena. Heerenveen suit Ajax, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Both Nick Bakker and Joost van Aken are injured for the away side.
