Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sunday’s football game between Ajax and Excelsior will bring down the curtain on day 10 of the new Netherlands Eredivisie campaign. The reigning champions have been struggling in recent weeks, but this time out they will have a perfect opponent to boost their confidence as they scored no fewer than 18 goals in the last four meetings with Excelsior. The host have been impressive at their Johan Cruijiff Arena this season; therefore, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win this clash. Both Devyne Rensch and Ahmetcan Kaplan are out of contention through injuries, while captain Dusan Tadic is back from the Champions League ban.
The Red Blacks, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run, and they must be desperate to grab something from this match. Anyhow, David faces Goliath in Amsterdam on Matchday 10, and anything but a comfortable win for the reigning champions will be a major surprise. Sven Nieuwpoort remains in recovery room, whilst Nikolas Agrafiotis is rated doubtful.
