Prediction

  • Ajax travel to face Fortuna Sittard at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday, with both teams currently on different trajectories. Ajax comes into this match with five consecutive victories, while Fortuna hopes to end a four-match winless streak in the Eredivisie.
  • In their latest league match, Ajax secured a 2-1 victory against Feyenoord at home, marking their fifth straight win and placing them in second place with 48 points, just two points behind first-placed PSV. Ajax also maintained a six-point lead over third-placed Utrecht in the race for a Champions League spot.

  • The last Eredivisie meeting between the clubs saw Ajax decisively win 5-0 at Johan Cruijff ArenA in September. Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring for Ajax in the ninth minute, followed by contributions from Bertrand Traoré, Youri Baas, Devyne Rensch, and Chuba Akpom.
  • Ajax's leading attacking player has been Oliver Edvardsen, who has scored eight goals this season, including two opening goals, albeit those strikes were for his former club Go Ahead Eagles. For Fortuna, Kristoffer Peterson has stood out as the club's top scorer with six goals, while Ezequiel Bullaude has also impressed with five goals.
  • Overall, Fortuna Sittard have achieved five wins and five losses at home in their 10 Eredivisie matches this season, while Ajax have collected 20 points from 30 available in their away league matches.
