Prediction: 2-1
Utrecht
Ajax will be aiming to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Utrecht on the penultimate day of the season. The Amsterdammers survived Groningen on Tuesday, but they face yet another must-win situation against Utrecht. Both Steven Berghuis and Kian Fitz-Jim are out of contention, while Ahmetcan Kaplan is a major doubt. Brian Brobbey is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The visitors, meanwhile, are eyeing a spot in the Conference League. Utrecht have been scoring goals for fun of late and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Naoki Maeda, Bas Dost, and Ramon Hendriks miss out with injuries for the visiting side, while USA defender Taylor Booth is back to the starting XI after serving his one-game ban in a 2-0 win over RKC Waalwijk.
Highlighted Player (Steven Bergwijn):
Steven Bergwin is a product of ASC Waterwijk football school, but in 2009 he was spotted by Ajax scouts. In 2011 he moved to PSG and he continued playing for the club’s reserve team at senior level. He made his debut with the senior team on May 20, 2015 in a 2-0 win over Heracles.
Over the years the Dutch footballer born in Amsterdam on October 8, 1997, has established himself as a first-team regular at PSV, earning a call-up for the national team as well. Steven Bergwijn made his Netherlands debut on October 12, 2018 in a 3-0 win over Germany. His main position is left winger, but he is used as both right winger and centre-forward as well.
His preferred foot is right and it has to be noted that his parents are of Suriname descent, he has a dual citizenship. Bergwijn scored 14 goals in 33 appearances for PSV in the 2018/2019 Eredivisie season.
Highlighted Team (Utrecht):
Established on July 1, 1970, Utrecht is a Dutch club that competes in the Eredivisie. The club was founded as a merger of VV DOS, USV Elinkwijk, and Velox, and it has to be noted that VV DOS did well to win the Eredivisie trophy back in 1958.
Utrecht, on the other hand, have yet to win the national championship, but they have lifted three KNVB Cup trophies (1984/85, 2002/03, 2003/04). Leo van Veen is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 153 goals. Speaking of the club’s colours, they were white and red shirts when playing at home, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
Due to the hooligan clashes, Utrecht have a rivalry with Dutch giants Ajax. The games between the two clubs have always been very tense on the field. Utrecht welcome their rivals at Stadion Galgenwaard, the venue which can hold up to 23,750 people. The stadium was opened back in May 1936.
