Eredivisie 2019 Betting Predictions: Ajax Wins, FC Emmen Relegates

While PSV are the reigning champions as well as the league leaders, you might want to bet on Ajax to win the championship. Here are our Eredivisie 2019 betting predictions.

After 23 match days, PSV are the leaders, while Ajax go second. That fact easily tricked online sportsbook news sites in the Netherlands into believing that PSV will be capable of retaining their title at the end of the season. Especially because PSV youngster Steven Bergwijn is having a wonderful season so far. But you shouldn’t let yourself be deceived…

Eredivisie 2019 betting predictions: bet on Ajax to win!

PSV have won Eredivisie last year. In fact, they were champions 3 times out of the past 5 years. They are the leaders this year as well. After the 23rd round, they have a 2-point lead over Ajax Amsterdam. Based on these, it’s not surprising that Eredivisie 2019 betting predictions expect them to win the league.

However, you might want to bet on Ajax instead. The greatest club in Dutch football history has failed to win the championship since 2014. Right now, their squad is full of amazing talents like wonderkid Matthijs de Ligt and future Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong. They had to focus on the Champions League as well, but they are likely to be eliminated by Real Madrid. Should that happen, they’ll only have to concentrate on winning league games. We expect them to take back the Dutch throne.

Eredivisie 2019 betting predictions on top assists

PSV are standing on top mainly due to the outstanding performances by the Top Assister of the team as well as the league. Of course, odds by online sportsbook sites in the Netherlands also reflect on the fact that he has been the best of the league in this sense. Feyenoord’s Steven Berghuis is only 1 assist away from him as he has 10. Heerenveen’s Zeneli follows them with 9, just ahead of Ajax midfielders David Neres, Ziyech, and Tadic, who have assisted 8, 8 and 7 times respectively. However, you shouldn’t pick Heerenveen midfielder Zeneli as the Kosovo international left for Stade de Reims in January.
