Ajax-GA Eagles is a match from the 28th day of the Eredivisie and is played Thursday at 9 p.m.: TV, streaming, likely lineups, predictions.
Ajax is trying hard to straighten out a season that will go down in history as one of the worst in recent years. Third place, occupied by Twente, as of today turns out to be too far away: we are talking about 12 points, when there are only 7 days left until the end of the games. Probable, then, that the Lancers will stay out of the Champions League for the second year in a row.
It will also be difficult to reach the fourth: AZ Alkmaar, on the pitch twenty-four hours earlier with Heracles, is +8 away from the Red and Whites, who still face two complicated direct clashes against Feyenoord and Twente in this league finale. Not to mention that John van’t Schip’s men are also called upon to watch their backs to defend fifth place, threatened by NEC and GA Eagles, at -1 and -4 respectively. Ajax meanwhile took advantage of the break to recharge their batteries and last weekend returned to winning ways, ending a month-long fast. Prior to the 3-1 success at home to Zwolle, in fact, Brobbey and his teammates had scored two draws in a row against Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam, both of which ended in a 2-2 draw. In between had also been the Europa League double-header with Aston Villa: after avoiding defeat in the first leg (0-0), Ajax was literally overwhelmed (4-0) in Birmingham by an opponent that appeared clearly superior. To be taken with caution are the GA Eagles, rejuvenated by their 3-0 thrashing of Excelsior last Saturday. A crucial success, which allowed Rene Hake’s men to file away the double knockouts with PSV Eindhoven and Heracles.
The Prediction
For the guests, this is already a dream season and the possibility of finishing in one of the top eight positions and competing for a place in the next Conference League is concrete. Ajax favored for the three points but the GA Eagles should sell their skins dearly in a match with at least one goal on each side.
