Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
All eyes will be on Stadion Galgenwaard when Utrecht and Ajax go head to head in a highly-anticipated Eredivisie game. Utrecht are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are surely capable of matching the fallen Dutch powerhouse in front of home fans. Keep in mind, though, that important defender Nick Viergever is sidelined through suspension following his sending-off in the 1-0 loss to FC Volendam.
Ajax, meanwhile, are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Dutch top flight and seeing that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Sunday’s matinee as well, both teamst to score betting option should be considered. Both Steven Berghuis and Benjamin Tahirovic are out of contention with injuries, while Silvano Vos misses out through suspension. In their last meeting in the Eredivisie Ajax recorded a 3-1 win over Utrecht.
Highlighted Team (Zwolle):
Founded on June 12, 1910, PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club which competes in the Eredivisie. Zwolle have yet to win the national championship, but they did remarkably well to lift the Dutch Cup trophy in 2014. Ron Jans’s troops impressed in the title game, with the team rolling over Dutch giants Ajax 5-1.
The Blauwingers play their home games at MACPARK Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,000 people. The multi-use stadium was opened on August 29, 2009. Zwolle’s home kit is blue and white, while the colour of their away jersey is green and white. In the 2014/15 season the Blauwingers represented the Netherlands in the Europa League, with the team losing to Sparta Prague in the play-off round.
The likes of Henk Timmer (237), Johan Hansma (231), Bert Konterman (219), Arne Slot (208), and Jasper Drost (182) are the players with the most league appearances for the club. Go Ahead Eagles are considered the club’s biggest rivals as both teams are located at the river Ijssel.
