Here are the main statistics, betting tips and the best prediction for Willem II vs Ajax.
![]() Willem II |
![]() Ajax |
This duel is expected to be quite unbalanced. This is because Willem II, the clear leader of this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024, owner of the second best attack and second best defense in the competition, hosts Jong Ajax, who in turn has not yet won away from home and is even the third worst visitor as well as the team that scored the most goals away from home. There is, however, an atmosphere of revenge as the last defeat suffered by Willem II in the league was precisely against Jong Ajax, away from home, by (1-0), on 06-11-2023, in the 13th round of this competition. Since then, Willem II has won 7 wins and 1 draw in the championship while Jong Ajax has since recorded 4 wins and 4 draws. It is expected that the home team will be able to prove their superiority on the field and that is why we will bet on Willem II's Half-Time Asian Handicap -0.5 in the expectation that the Eerste Divisie leader will already secure a victory in the first 45 minutes, which is actually the stage in which Jong Ajax conceded 18 of the 32 goals conceded away from home this season.
