Prediction: 2-3
Ajax
Van Donge & De Roo Stadion will host Saturday’s football game between Excelsior and Ajax, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2023/2024 Eredivisie campaign. Excelsior’s main goal is to secure the top flight survival, while Ajax are on a quest to regain the title. The hosts recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over NEC Nijmegen in their opener and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play.
The Amsterdammers, on the other hand, kicked of their Eredivisie campaign with a 4-1 win over Heracles, but their display was anything but convincing. Goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli suffered a shoulder injury at the weekend, with fellow shot-stopper Jay Gorter likely to step up, while Steven Berghuis is banned for the match. Anyhow, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as 29 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings in the Dutch elite division.
