AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs FC Volendam Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2023

AFC Ajax Amsterdam will be looking to pick up a morale-boosting result when they play host to FC Volendam in the Eredivisie on Thursday.

The record 36-time Dutch champions are currently rooted to the bottom of the table in what has been a horror start to the season and they will be looking to end their 10-game winless run.

Ajax failed to stop the rot in the Eredivisie as they suffered a 5-2 hammering at the hands of PSV Eindhoven last Sunday.

This result capped off the worst start to the Eredivisie campaign for de Godenzonen, who have now lost four games on the bounce, including a 2-0 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Europa League.

Ajax have now lost five of their opening eight Eredivisie games while claiming one win and two draws to collect just five points and sit rooted to the bottom of the table.

Elsewhere, Volendam picked up back-to-back home wins for the first time this season as they beat Excelsior 2-1 last Sunday.

While Matthias Kohler’s men have been decent on home turf this season, they currently hold the division’s worst away record, having lost their opening four games on the road.

With seven points from nine matches, Volendam are currently 16th in the Eredivisie table, level on points with 17th-placed FC Utrecht.
