Best Odds and Predictions for Feyenoord vs Ajax
The big derby match of round 17 in Eredivisie will feature the current leaders Feyenoord and the reigning champions Ajax.
Contents
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Strangely, only one match in their last five ended with both teams scoring a goal, but somehow this time it feels different. Ajax has been struggling with their form, and Feyenoord is looking to take advantage of their home turf. Both will play an attacking style of football with little that could separate them.
Draw
Ajax had four draw matches in a row with Feyenoord having only one in the middle of an unbeaten run that saw them win four out of their last five matches. But, for Ajax, the main thing will be not to lose, and the hosts will be looking to further establish themselves at the top of the rankings. Predicting a draw is a risky endeavor, but worth noting at this time.

Here are the bookmakers' predictions regarding the match odds:
Feyenoord odds: 7/4 (2.75) – 36.4%
Draw odds: 13/5 (3.50) – 28.6%
Ajax odds: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
The bookmakers, surprisingly, give Ajax a certain degree of separation, but with the current state of affairs between both teams, it is worth looking at different options for bettors: A Draw with BTTS will get you odds of 4/1 (4.00) – 20% while taking a bet that only 1 goal will be scored in the First Half is priced at 7/4 (2.75) – 36.4%.
Predicted Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Feyenoord
The Rotterdam team only faced a single defeat in 16 matches this season and has been holding onto the top spot for some time. There isn't a big difference points-wise, but it is something the Feyenoord will be looking to keep and protect, especially against their biggest rivals for the title. The Rotterdam team hasn't lost at home all season, they have won five times with a couple of draws on their record. Surprisingly, they have lost six straight matches to Ajax, and their last win was earned in 2019 when they beat their Amsterdam contenders with an incredible 6-2 scoreline. Ajax and PSV are the only teams that have scored more goals than Feyenoord, but the home team has a better defensive record, or rather second-best in the Eredivisie after Twente. They allowed only 14 goals which are less than one per game on average. Feyenoord has a couple of injury unavailabilities with Quinten Timber and Gernot Trauner missing the match.
Predicted lineup: Bijlow, Pedersen, Geertruida, Hancko, Hartman, Wieffer, Kokcu, Jahanbakhsh, Szymanski, Paixao, Danilo.
Ajax
The defending champions have been fighting with inconsistency through much of the season, especially after selling one of their best players Antony to Manchester United last summer. They have drawn four times in a row which is worrying for the team as they have dropped several points that could jeopardize their title defense. Despite those issues, scoring hasn't been the problem for Ajax who accumulated 45 goals this season, the best mark in the league. The Amsterdam team also has the third-best away record in the league with only one loss, which happened at AZ Alkmaar. Last week they played out a goalless draw with Twente after having multiple important players missing through injuries, and facing an early red card that made them change their tactics before halftime. Some of those injured players will be available to face Feyenoord, but there are still some that won't be able to play. Florian Grillitsch and Ahmetcan Kaplan are out, and Youri Baas is doubtful to play. Devyne Rensch is suspended.
Predicted lineup: Rulli, Bassey, Wijndal, Timber, Sanchez, Taylor, Berghuis, Klaassen, Tadic, Brobbey, Bergwijn.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Brian Brobbey
The 20-year-old striker is producing at a high level since joining Ajax last summer from Leipzig. He has made 16 appearances this season scoring eight goals with a couple of assists to his name. He will be the focus of Feyenoord's defense.
