Best Bets and Odds for Ajax vs Twente
The Derby match in round 16 of the Eredivisie will be played in Amsterdam where Ajax will meet Twente.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
If we look at the stats, there is nothing that would suggest this match could end up with fewer than three goals scored. Before last week's draw at NEC Nijmegen, Ajax had six straight matches with Over 2.5 Goals. However, they are in crisis mode right now and Twente has the best defense in the league. Something is missing at Ajax, and they could be in for another troublesome evening especially with all the injuries hurting the squad.
Ajax to Win
Regardless of the previous option, Ajax needs a win, it's pure and simple. It will be tough against a Twente team that will sit back and look for opportunities to score on the break, but the Amsterdam team needs to find a way to score and get a victory after four straight matches without one.

Provisional Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Ajax
What is happening to Ajax? That is the question that many fans of the biggest Dutch club are wondering. Erik ten Hag had a huge influence on the culture that was created in the club, and with his departure, a lot has changed. Alfred Schreuder faced different challenges, a lot of players left, and new ones arrived. With that fact, the way the team plays has also changed. There is too much inconsistency in their performances, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Ajax management decides to change things on the bench once again. They are without a win in their last four matches, drawing three times in a row. Somehow, because other title contenders are struggling as well, Ajax is still very much in the hunt for their 37th league title. Ajax have massive injury problems for the derby match so you need to be careful at the information coming out from Amsterdam. Steven Bergwijn, Brian Brobbey, Youri Regeer, Floridan Grillitsch, Jurrie Timber, Mohammed Kudus, Steven Berghuis, and Ahmetcan Kaplan are all injured.
Provisional lineup: Pasveer, Sanchez, Wijndal, Rensch, Bassey, Klaassen, Alvarez, Taylor, Conceicao, Ocampos, Tadic.
Twente
Twente had a productive continuation of the season, they beat Emmen in Eredivisie by the score of 2-0, and then advanced into the next round of the Dutch Cup by easily beating Telstar 3-1. Now, they are ready to bring their new found attacking confidence, and reliable defense to Amsterdam and face a team that they lost 5-0 the last time they met last season. However, with some of the unavailability issues that Ajax is facing and with the negative run of form, this might be a good opportunity for Twente to get another good result that would move them closer to the top of the rankings. They are currently fourth with only four points from leaders Feyenoord and have the best defense in the league with nine conceded goals. Wout Brama and Dimitrios Limnios are injured, while Christos Tzolis might feature against the Amsterdam outfit.
Provisional lineup: Unnerstall, Smal, Propper, Hilgers, Sampsted, Sadilek, Zerrouki, Misidjan, Steijn, Cerny, van Wolfswinkel.
