Ajax vs Excelsior prediction and betting tips on April 24, 2024
In the 31st round of the Dutch Eredivisie, a match between Ajax and Excelsior will take place. The meeting will be held in Amsterdam on Wednesday, April 24. The game is scheduled to start at 9:00 PM Central European Time. The prediction for this match has been made by DailySports experts.
Ajax
A complete failure. This phrase best characterizes the current season for the legendary team. After a dismal start, when Ajax was hovering in the relegation zone, the team regained its composure, but the best they can hope for is to fight for a spot in the UEFA Europa League qualification. A probable finish in fifth place would be the worst result in recent years, and changes are inevitable for the club in the summer. The only bright spot is the performance of Brian Brobbey, who has scored 18 goals and provided 8 assists in all matches this season.
Excelsior
The modest team from Rotterdam has been showing below-average results in recent years, and if not playing in the Eredivisie, they are fighting for survival in the elite division. The current season is no exception: Excelsior has only five wins in 30 matches and is just one point away from the relegation zone. On the other hand, the team scores quite a lot (44 goals, the ninth-best result in the league), but their defense leaves much to be desired.
Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Ajax has not lost at home in the Eredivisie since October of last year.
- Excelsior has lost their last seven away matches.
- Ajax has not lost to Excelsior in 17 years.
Ajax vs Excelsior Prediction
In the last five head-to-head matches between these teams, 33 goals were scored, so we should expect a high-scoring game. I bet on the total over 3 goals.
