Head-to-Head
- FC Eindhoven have won 10 of the 24 all-time Eerste Divisie H2H meetings against Jong Ajax (D8, L6).
- FC Eindhoven have won the last two league meetings between the teams including a 3-1 away win in November 2025.
FC Eindhoven
- FC Eindhoven’s season has gone as expected so far, leaving them firmly in mid-table with a points total somewhere between 30 and 32 when the next round of games begins.
- Maurice Verberne’s side are a pragmatic, well-drilled 4-3-3 unit that is very disciplined and compact when out of possession.
Jong Ajax
- Jong Ajax are also where they usually finish up, in the relegation group with around 19-26 points in the 2025-2026 Eerste Divisie.
- Jong Ajax have only won on six occasions in the fixture’s 24 meetings and were trounced in two of the most recent three meetings.
- However, they could be a very different proposition to that November game now that Óscar García is in charge.
Key Players
-
Tyrese Simons and Sven Blummel are the two creative forces behind Rangelo Janga, who is the club’s top scorer and spearheads their attack.

- Don O’Niel is the main outlet for them with five goals this season, while Kayden Wolff can make things happen in transition as a finisher or from the wide areas.
- Emre Ünüvar and Rayane Bounida are two youngsters who can be effective from the bench or when the team is fresh.
Betting Insights
- García’s appointment as Jong Ajax head coach in February 2026 makes this game a little harder to call, but the hosts are worthy favourites at 1.7 with the visitors at 4.17 and the draw at 4.1.
- We would happily support the draw in this fixture, but the over 2.5 goals market is the play of the day at 1.44.
- FC Eindhoven's recent form includes the 5-0 home win over MVV Maastricht, while Jong Ajax suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to De Graafschap and have only one clean sheet.
- The weather is due to be sunny and mild in Eindhoven, so expect plenty of attacking soccer and goals at both ends.
Prediction
A narrow Eindhoven win is still the most likely outcome because of their home advantage and superior head-to-head record, but a 2-2 draw would not be a surprise given how much has changed at Jong Ajax this year.
