Ajax vs Vitesse Prediction

Ajax have a distinct upper hand in this fixture and Erik ten Hag will expect his side to come away with all three points from this game. The home side has an excellent attacking combination and the likes of Quincy Promes and Antony are in brilliant form.

Vitesse can be a tricky team to play against, however, and have denied Ajax a victory on several occasions in the past. The home side is likely to control large periods of the game and will have to work hard to pick up a victory.
