Heracles Almelo vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | January 27th 2024

Heracles Almelo will face Ajax Amsterdam at the Erve Asito on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.

The home side have had their struggles in the Dutch top flight this season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They played out a 1-1 draw against Volendam last time out falling behind in the opening 10 minutes of the game before summer arrival Jizz Hornkamp came off the bench to level the scores with his maiden goal for the club.

Heracles Almelo sit 15th in the league table with 19 points from 18 games and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.

After a torrid start to their season, Ajax Amsterdam have found good form in the league in recent weeks and are now pushing for continental football. They beat Waalwijk 4-1 in their last match with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Brian Brobbey, who scored a brace.

The visitors sit fifth in the league standings with 31 points picked up so far and will be looking to continue their winning streak this Saturday.
