NAC vs Ajax Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

NAC Breda are at 10/1 to win, a draw is at 19/4, and an Ajax win is at ¼.

Ajax will be favored in this match as they have dominated NAC Breda in the past and are very much expected to do so once more.

Ajax are eight points back of PSV, and they once again look like they have already lost the title before the season was truly off and running. They don't want to end up back in playoffs for European places, as they failed to win them this term, but it's looking inevitable now. They have four wins, a loss, and a draw at home, showing they are more than capable of winning here.

NAC Breda are in the bottom three and will see this match as a bonus should they get anything whatsoever from it. They have just nine points and are in an absolute fight down toward the bottom with a number of sides. They have just one win and a draw in five home matches, and that form will do them no favors at season's end unless it changes.

A no on both teams to score, which is fairly common in this tie, is at 17/20 via Ladbrokes.

NAC vs Ajax Prediction

Ajax get the victory over a poor NAC side away from home.

Correct Score Prediction: NAC Breda 0-3 Ajax

Team News

Stijn Vreven will be without center backs Chiro N'Toko and Pablo Mari, goalkeeper Andries Noppert, center midfielder Robbie Haemhouts and Olivier Rommens, and winger Thomas Agyepong due to injuries for this tough home tie.

Key Man

NAC have scored a reasonable number of goals this season given their current standing, and a good chunk of those have been from the play of French striker Thierry Ambrose. The 20 year old, on loan from Manchester City, has scored two times and assisted three more to help his side get the points that they have at the moment.  He could be a key factor if they are to upset the odds and win over Ajax.

Team Form

NAC Breda have two draws and three losses in their last five matches:

0-0 draw at VVV
2-2 draw at Utrecht
0-2 home loss vs PEC
1-0 loss at Roda JC
0-1 home loss vs ADO

NAC Breda Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Team News

Marcel Keizer should be able to play left winger Amin Younes should he choose to do so. Center midfielder Abdelhak Nouri, meanwhile, remains out with a heart problem and winger Vaclav Cerny is out for the entire season with a knee rupture.

Key Man

Ajax might have fallen off the pace of the front-running PSV already by some margin, but it has been to no fault of David Neres'. The Brazilian winger has been in fantastic form for his club, scoring five times to lead the way and assisting another four times. He's part of a very quick, fluid front line that is hard to track, and he is a definite star to keep an eye on in this match and in the future as well.

Team Form

Ajax have a loss and four wins in their last five matches:

1-2 home loss vs Utrecht
1-3 win at Willem II
1-4 win at De Dijk (Dutch Cup)
1-4 win at Feyenoord
4-0 home win vs Sparta Rotterdam

Ajax Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Ajax come into this match eight points back of the top side PSV Eindhoven at the moment, meaning that they have little to no more room for error in the title race. After last season, in fact, we think they might already be a little too late as Feyenoord's slip ups were too late coming for Ajax to take advantage. After a shock loss before the international break, the Amsterdam side have got to win and NAC Breda or they will once again be almost guaranteed to go through the dreaded Champions League playoff rounds once more.

NAC haven't beaten Ajax in their last 16 attempts to do so, dating back to 2008 in the Dutch Cup.
