Ajax
- Ajax have won nine, drawn three and lost two Eredivisie 2025/2026 games at the Johan Cruyff Arena, scoring 2.00 goals and conceding an average of 0.79 per match.
- Ajax host FC Twente in the Eredivisie this Saturday knowing that a win will take them four points clear of the Tukkers in the league standings.
- Ajax are fourth with 48 points from 28 matches, only one point ahead of Twente in fifth, but both clubs will feel they can push for European places in 2026-27.
- Oscar Garcia has made his mark since taking over as Ajax coach in March 2026, fostering a possession-first, vertical style with a high-tempo approach to counter-pressing and full-back play.
- This makes Ajax a very watchable side on the ball and an aggressive proposition off it, but the Amsterdam club have only won one of their last five Eredivisie contests, drawing three and losing one.
Twente
- Twente have won four of their last five Eredivisie games, but failed to win on their last two visits to Ajax.
- John van den Brom has done an excellent job at FC Twente since taking charge in September 2025, imbuing the squad with a pragmatic, structure-led mentality that is much more about compactness and controlled transitions than the possession game.
- The Tukkers have won 4-1 at Go Ahead Eagles and 2-1 at Fortuna Sittard in their two away league games since the international break, demonstrating that they can now travel to any place in the Netherlands and get a result.
- Ajax have enough of an edge to win this one, but Twente’s away form and counter-attacking threat should keep it tight.
Head-to-Head
Ajax have won the last two Eredivisie meetings with Twente, including a 3-2 away win five months ago .
Key Players

- He’s our choice to hit the net in this top-of-the-table battle.

Prediction
Ajax have enough of an edge to win this one, but Twente’s away form and counter-attacking threat should keep it tight.
