NEC vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction
NEC saw their four-game unbeaten run at home come to an end last time out and they will be eager to get back to winning ways. However, they are overwhelming underdogs in this game and their extremely poor record in this fixture highlights the gulf in quality between the two sides.
Ajax were on a 16-game unbeaten run across competitions before their defeat against Sociedad. The capital side are seven points behind table-toppers PSV with a game in hand.
