Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 4-0
Almere City
Ajax will be aiming to recover from a 2-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar when they take on Almere City in the Eredivisie round 16. The Amsterdammers want to overtake Utrecht in second place and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the rock-bottom side. Defender Owen Wijndal is back from the Europa League ban, while the likes of Avila, Rijkhoff, Tahirovic, and van Axel Dongen should miss out with injuries. Summer signing Wout Weghorst is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Hedwiges Maduro’s men, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only six points on their account. As Almere City are on a five-game losing run in the Dutch top flight, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in Amsterdam Ajax outplayed Almere City 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Davy Klaassen is a product of Ajax’s youth academy. He played for the Amsterdammers at youth level from 2004 to 2012 and he made his debut for the senior team against Olympique Lyon in the Champions League group stages.

The Amsterdammers share a big rivalry with Feyenoord and there have always been fireworks when the two teams face each other in De Klassieker.
