Twente vs Ajax Prediction & Tips | Eredivisie | FootballTips.app

Two of the Eredivisie’s leading contenders meet at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday afternoon as fourth-placed Twente welcome second-placed Ajax. Just one point separates the sides after 11 matches, with the hosts collecting 23 points and their visitors 24, making this a potentially significant encounter in the title race.

Twente arrive in outstanding attacking form, having demolished Excelsior 9-0 last weekend before overcoming Pafos 3-1 in European competition. John van den Brom’s side have scored 19 goals across their last five Eredivisie matches, while their 28 goals scored and ten conceded underline their impressive balance.

The hosts have been particularly formidable at De Grolsch Veste, winning four of their five home league fixtures (L1), the second-best home record in the division. Their defensive solidity has been equally important, conceding just 0.91 goals per match, while their four awarded penalties represent a joint-league high.

Ajax travel to Enschede following an emphatic 6-1 Conference League victory at Midtjylland, extending their impressive recent run. Míchel Sánchez’s side had previously secured a hard-fought 1-0 league victory over AZ, demonstrating their ability to combine attacking flair with defensive discipline.

The Amsterdam club have been flawless away from home in the Eredivisie, winning all five league trips while scoring 30 goals overall this season. Ajax have won their last three league matches and remain unbeaten in five (W3, D2), with 16 goals across their previous five fixtures highlighting their attacking strength.

Ajax dominate the historical head-to-head record, winning 69 of the previous 117 Eredivisie meetings compared with Twente’s 23, alongside 25 draws. However, with Twente boasting one of the league’s strongest home records and Ajax maintaining a perfect away record, this promises to be one of the most compelling fixtures of the campaign.
