Twente - Ajax Prediction, Picks and Tips

Ajax has an away match against FC Twente on the program in this midweek round. More than a month ago, the Tukkers surprisingly beat the leader of the list. Are they capable of such a trick again?

FC Twente is still performing very well. The team of trainer Ron Jans won its eighth league game of this season. The difference in strength with opponent FC Emmen was obvious, in a match that the Tukkers won with 1-4 without any problems. And that while top scorer Danilo was not even in the starting line-up in the match at the Oude Meerdijk. Twente is now on 27 points, which puts it right behind the top five of the Eredivisie. You can without a doubt call that a top performance. So now the home game with Ajax awaits. Remarkably, Twente lost its last three matches in the Grolsch Veste. That can happen against AZ Alkmaar, but the defeats against RKC Waalwijk and Sparta Rotterdam were two setbacks. Jans and his players can draw confidence from the match they played against Ajax in early December. Partly due to two goals from former Ajax player Queensy Menig, the Johan Cruijff Arena won 1-2. Many will also be fully motivated at the kick-off on Thursday, just like Danilo, who is hired by Twente from the team from Amsterdam. The Brazilian knows that a strong performance on Thursday will increase his chances of a return to Ajax. The same goes for central defender Kik Pierie.

For Ajax, the resumption of the Eredivisie was dominated by the top match against PSV. The team from Amsterdam knew that with a victory they would deal a direct blow to their biggest competitor in the battle for the national title. However, Ajax started the top match disastrous, by quickly falling 0-2. In the future, the team certainly did not play badly, but there would be no more victory. The teams stepped off the pitch of the Johan Cruijff Arena with a 2-2 final score. "I think it's great that we managed to make 2-2, and that the 3-2 was still in the air," Quincy Promes looked on the positive side after the top match against Ajax's own media. The much-discussed attacker will face the club where he was under contract on Thursday. 'It is a club that will always stay with me. I can look back on a great period there, 'said Promes. Newcomer Sebastian Haller was brought from the bench by Erik ten Hag on Sunday, but it would be logical if the Frenchman did start in Enschede. Perhaps Ten Hag will rotate somewhat, with Sunday's game against Feyenoord in prospect.
