Ajax vs Willem II – Preview
Ajax arrive in commanding form with a 3.16 expected goals advantage in the market's assessment, while Willem II have significantly underperformed expectations, posting a minus-0.78 form differential both this season and across their last ten matches. The hosts have also dominated recent head-to-head encounters and posted a winning handicap record, though their minus-2.5 line at 2.01 reflects their strong offensive profile against a Willem II side likely to defend deep. Davy Klaassen is pushing for a start after scoring from the bench against Fortuna, and is expected to join Sofyan Amrabat and Julian Brandt in midfield, with Brandt also on target last weekend. Klaassen has scored four times in his last five appearances across all competitions, making his late runs into the penalty area an important weapon against a Willem II side likely to defend deep.
Willem II will need far greater efficiency than their recent performances suggest to trouble a squad clicking on all cylinders. Ajax have scored 14 goals in five league matches and found five different scorers against Fortuna, giving them multiple avenues to break down the visitors' compact approach. Haen remains the visitors' biggest attacking threat with three league goals, but Willem II's underperformance metric and negative handicap betting record this season both point to a side struggling to generate genuine scoring chances. The expected-goals gap and form divergence favour Ajax decisively on Tuesday.
