The semi-finals of the Dutch Cup will pit two of the country’s top clubs against each other. Alkmaar and Ajax Amsterdam. The home team hasn’t lost a single game in the last month and the away team is playing in the Champions League semi-finals, so it’s going to be an interesting match.
Home side Alkmaar are in good form. In February, it recorded a run of four straight wins and managed to beat teams like PSV and Feyenoord, who are ahead of it in the table. Thanks to the winning streak, he has risen to fourth place in the league.
In total, he played 24 games in the league and scored 48 points. He has lost only 6 games in the league so far and managed to win 15 of them. He is 9 points behind Ajax and 7 points behind Ajax in the Champions League, so he can still achieve a good result this season.
Ajax Amsterdam is undoubtedly the best team in the Netherlands. It regularly wins league and cup titles. As far as the individuality of the team is concerned, no other team from the Netherlands can match it. The same goes for the academy.
But sometimes even the clear favourite loses a game. The proof of this is the defeat of Ajax by G. A. Eagles in their last league game. Despite this, however, Ajax have a two-point lead in the league, having scored 57 points from 24 matches, yet only three times have they gone out as losers.
Despite Alkmaar’s good form and home environment, table leader Ajax will enter the game as favourites. They don’t lose much in important matches and wish to advance to the final.
They only drew their first match against Benfica in the Champions League and are not sure of promotion, so they will do everything to stay at least in the domestic cup.
