Roda JC vs Ajax Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview

Roda JC take on Dutch giants Ajax in Eredivisie action this Wednesday. Read the match predictions to find out why an away win is predicted in this clash.

Roda JC vs Ajax Preview

Roda JC are currently struggling in the Eredivisie, sitting just two points off rock bottom having picked up just 16 points from their 21 league games. The last thing they want is a visit from Ajax who are on an 11 game unbeaten run in the league. However, Roda have had some positive results lately, winning two and drawing two of their last six.

Both Simon Gustafson and Dani Schahin have found the net six times so far this season, totalling over half of Roda’s 22 league goals. The two forwards are going to have to be on form to give the home side a chance of coming away from the game with points. The duo are dangerous in front of goal though and will no doubt cause Ajax’s back four problems should they get the chance.

While Roda are second from the bottom, Ajax are at the other end of the table second from the top behind league-leaders PSV. PSV are currently seven points clear of Ajax and so Ajax will be looking for every opportunity to narrow that gap and not let their hopes of a title win slide away from them.

Ajax head into this fixture after a comfortable 3-1 win over Breda. Another team fighting to get out of the relegation zone. A victory that gives them eight wins and two draws from their last ten matches.

Roda JC vs Ajax Prediction

We expect Ajax to prove too much for Roda who will have to wait another week for an opportunity to pick up points. Although Roda are fighting to stay out of the relegation zone, Ajax are fighting for the title and with the momentum that Ajax are currently on along with the difference in quality between the two sides, the most likely result is 3 points for the visitors.

When the sides met in the league in November, Ajax triumphed with a 5-1 win despite Roda JC taking the lead. We expect a similar attacking threat from Ajax on Wednesday and predict a 3-1 away win.

Roda JC (4-3-1-2 formation) : Jarjus; Vamsteenkiste, Auassar, Ananou, Dikhuizen, Engels, Gnjatic, Rosheuvel, Avdijaj, Schahin

Ajax (4-3-3 formation) : Onan, Veltman, Ligt, Jong, Tagliafico, Beek, Schine, Siyech, Neres, Huntelaar, Kluivert

From the 50 times these sides have met, Ajax have won 30, Roda 6 and there have been 14 draws. You have to go all the way back to 2008 to find a match where Roda got the better of Ajax and Ajax have won 13 of the 18 games played since.

The last two matches between these two sides resulted in 5-1 and 2-0 wins for Ajax and the two previous to that ended in 2-2 draws, showing that there is definitely potential for goals on Wednesday.
