Nijmegen had been a real surprise package in the Eredivisie this season, they finished eighth last term but have improved on that campaign this time around and currently sit third in the Eredivisie - ahead of Ajax on goal difference.
They’ve seen BTTS in four of their last five matches in the Eredivisie, and have been a reliable side for goals all season - seeing 50 across their 12 away games in the Dutch top flight (4.16 per game). They managed to hold Ajax to a 2-2 draw when the sides last met back in December. They deserved that point too, amassing an xG of 1.92 from 14 shots and navigating the second half with 10 men.
Ajax have seen BTTS in each of their last four matches ahead of this clash, most recently running out 4-1 winners over Fortuna Sittard. Their 12 home games in the Eredivisie this term have produced 33 goals (2.75 per game), and they’re likely to be dragged into a high scoring affair here by a Nijmegen side who can strengthen their claim for a European finish with all three points.
