Double chance : Ajax or draw

Ajax are heading into this match at the Johan Cruijff Arena in pretty good shape, having won three of their last five games and drawn the other two. They've been scoring goals and generally looking solid. Utrecht, on the other hand, are in awful form. They've lost each of their last five matches, conceding a lot of goals along the way, including a heavy 5-0 defeat.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, games have often been high-scoring and tight, with both teams finding the net regularly. However, given Ajax's current good run and Utrecht's terrible losing streak, this match looks like it will be quite one-sided. Ajax should have more than enough to win comfortably at home against a struggling Utrecht side.
