Prediction

  • Ajax played to a 2-2 draw against Utrecht at Johan Cruyff ArenA in their last Eredivisie match, extending their unbeaten streak to 12 games. This achievement places them in second place with 33 points from 14 matches, six points behind first-placed PSV.
  • AZ currently sits in sixth place with 23 points from 14 matches. They secured a 1-0 victory in their last Eredivisie match at home against Heracles.
  • In their most recent meeting, AZ triumphed over Ajax with a 2-0 win at AFAS Stadion last season, led by Ruben van Bommel, who scored in the seventh and 67th minutes. AZ has been dominant in recent encounters, remaining unbeaten in the last six Eredivisie matches against Ajax. Ajax is seeking their first league win against AZ since April 2021. During this unbeaten streak, the Alkmaarders have outperformed the Ajacieden, scoring 10 goals and conceding just five.
  • Davy Klaassen and Wout Weghorst have been Ajax's standout players, with six and five goals, respectively. Klaassen is tied for fourth on the league's scoring charts for the 2024/2025 season, while Weghorst is tied for eighth.
  • In attack, Troy Parrott has been instrumental for AZ this season, serving as the team's top scorer with seven goals, which ranks third among the league's top scorers. Three of these goals were pivotal first goals in matches.
  • At home, AZ has earned 10 points out of a possible 21 from seven Eredivisie games this season. Ajax, meanwhile, has recorded four wins, two draws, and one loss in their away matches. The Ajacieden are looking to extend their six-match unbeaten away streak, with their last loss on the road occurring on August 18 against NAC Breda.
