Ajax vs Twente Prediction

Ajax are currently second in the league, three points behind league leaders Feyenoord. They have not won their last three league games, and each poor performance has increased the pressure on manager Alfred Schreuder. Schreuder's comments have not helped his cause, while the team's style of football has not been well received.

January has seen the departure of Daley Blind from the club. Blind enjoyed two trophy-laden spells with Ajax, sandwiched by a few seasons with Manchester United. The 32-year-old is renowned for his intelligence and versatility and Ajax might wonder whether they made a mistake by letting him go, considering a club of Bayern Munich's stature decided to pick him up on a free transfer.
