De Graafschap will be eager to regain their automatic promotion spots as they travel to Sportcomplex De Toekomst to face struggling Jong Ajax in Monday's Eerste Divisie clash.
Although Eerste Divisie rules prevent reserve teams from participating in the promotion playoffs to the highest tier of Dutch football, even if that rule weren’t in place, Ajax’s youth team would still struggle to break into the top eight by the end of the season. After 17 matches under their belt, Frank Peereboom's chosen ones find themselves in fourth-to-last place with a paltry 15 points, which represents the fewest points they've earned in their decade-long presence in the Dutch second division.
On the opposite end of the field stands a De Graafschap side who are fighting tirelessly to become part of the elite society in the country once again, showing no signs of giving up despite their previous playoff attemps ending in failure. Determined to avoid playoff drama, Superboeren have ramped up their efforts this season after racking up an impressive 32-point haul, which putting them in third with four behind second-ranked Volendam, but with a game in hand.
Jong Ajax vs De Graafschap Betting Tips: DE GRAAFSCHAP TO WIN
As they open matchweek 18 of the Eerste Divisie, Ajax's youth team are showing concerning signs, having ended up on the wrong side of the scoreline in six of their last seven second-tier battles. After going pointless and scoreless in their last two league matches, it’s hard to see Joden causing any problems for a confident De Graafschap side, who have no intention of letting their push for the top two falter. Otherwise, the boys in blue and white have been producing very good results of late, taking six wins from their last eight matches in all competitions, with at least three goals netted in five of those triumphs. Eager to continue their top-two pursuit uninterrupted, De Graafschap will rely on their ruthless finishing to secure the maximum points from this visit to a Jong Ajax side, who are in disarray.

Jong Ajax team news
Coach Frank Peereboom is clearly frustrated with his team's recent performances, and several changes are expected as the 45-year-old aims to get his side back on track as soon as possible.
Left-back Lucas Jetten will need to be assessed ahead of Monday's match, as he was forced off early in the 15th minute against Excelsior last week, with Gerald Alders ready to step in as his replacement.

De Graafschap team news
Unlike his frustrated counterpart, Jan Vreman is expected to send out the same squad that charged to an impressive 3-1 victory over VVV-Venlo in their last outing for Monday's away match.
After exceeding the yellow card limit last week, Rowan Besselink will serve a one-match suspension, with 22-year-old Joran Hardeman likely to step in and replace him in central defense.
