My Prediction
Ajax by 2Alright folks-oh no wait, that's not the right start. Ahem, without any fancy introductions, let's talk about the upcoming Eredivisie matchup, Ajax vs Sparta Rotterdam.
Ajax is coming in strong, hotter than a sizzling summer BBQ. Their keeper, Matheus, has shown decent hands with 7 saves and a 6.85 rating. Players like Steven Berghuis and Kenneth Taylor both hold a strong 7.37 rating with a goal each over the last month. Ajax bully the ball away most of the time with their 23-4-3 regular season record. Embarking from their last few games, despite a surprising 4-0 loss to FC Utrecht, they've held their ground well in other matches.
On the other side, we've got Sparta Rotterdam, bless their hearts. Their goalie, Nick Olij, holds a slightly higher rating of 7.50 with 8 saves. Looking at their top players, Shunsuke Mito has been on fire with an 8.10 rating, 2 goals, and 3 shots on goal recently. But despite some strong players, their season record brings a rather gentle frown to my face, not necessarily worthy of a standing ovation, standing at 8-10-11.
Remembering the previous match-ups between these two teams might make some of you weep or cheer depending on who you're backing. History is certainly in favor of Ajax, with wins on three out of the last four occasions.
So who's going to take the cake, you ask? Well my dear listener, if we were honest, and we always are, it's going to be as predictable as the sun coming up. Get ready to paint the town in Ajax colors.
