Jong Ajax vs Dordrecht Prediction

Ag man, this is like watching two braais where the meat keeps falling into the fire! Jong Ajax are rock bottom of the Eerste Divisie with just 8 points from 14 games - they haven't won in their last 10 matches (0 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses). Their defense is leakier than a cheap beer cooler, conceding 2.3 goals per game while scoring 1.3. Zero clean sheets in 10 games tells you everything you need to know about their backline!

Dordrecht aren't much better but at least they're not propping up the table. Sitting 10th with 19 points, they've managed 2 wins in their last 10 but still concede 2.0 goals per game. Their attack is toothless though - only 0.9 goals per game scored. That recent 7-0 cup hammering by Willem II shows they can collapse completely.

When these two meet, it's usually goal fest time! Dordrecht has dominated this matchup historically (5 wins to 2), but more importantly, 8 of their 9 meetings have gone over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in 6 of those 9 encounters. The last meeting ended 3-0 to Dordrecht, but before that we saw a 2-2 and 4-1 thriller.

Looking at recent form, Jong Ajax have been involved in some crackers - 4-1 loss to Cambuur, 2-2 draws with Jong PSV and De Graafschap, 3-3 with Roda. They just can't keep it clean at the back! Dordrecht meanwhile have been shipping goals regularly too - that 7-0 embarrassment says it all.

Both teams are defensively shambolic, both have shown they can find the net, and the head-to-head suggests goals galore. With neither side able to keep a clean sheet and both needing points for different reasons, I'm expecting both teams to score here.
