Jong Ajax vs Jong Utrecht Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

Jong Ajax have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, winning eight and drawing one of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, not to mention outscoring their opponents by 14 goals to two along the way. Jong Utrecht, on the other hand, have found the going tough on the road of late, losing four of their last five trips, including one at this venue.

Having been involved in 19 top-flight fixtures out of 19 recently in which under 3.5 goals have been scored, it would be fair to say that Jong Ajax have proven pretty consistent in this area. Although Jong Utrecht cannot compete with these numbers, it remains the case that 13 of their last 16 away matches in the Eerste Divisie have also delivered no more than three successful strikes.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Jong Ajax both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a Eerste Divisie fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Jong Utrecht have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
