FC Zwolle
- FC Zwolle’s recent results are: D1, L3, W1.
- The hosts have conceded an average of 1.36 goals-per-game at home this term, which is far from a leaky defence, and that should allow them to play with the freedom to attack.
- Zwolle boss Henry van der Vegt has implemented a more direct and attack-minded approach than Grim, utilising the full-backs to get forward and pressing high up the field to try and force opponents to play quickly.
Ajax
- After 24 games of the Eredivisie 2025/2026 season, fourth-placed Ajax are 16 points better off than 12th-placed FC Zwolle (43pts vs 27pts), and it’s hard to see anything other than a win for the visitors on Sunday afternoon.
- Ajax’s recent results are: D3, L1, W1.
- Grim’s team have won just one of their last five Eredivisie matches (D3, L1).
- Ajax have drawn both of their previous two away fixtures, including a 1-1 at AZ Alkmaar.
Head-to-Head
Ajax are a quality side with a superior away form, much greater firepower and have dominated this fixture in recent years .
Key Players
- Koen Kostons leads the FC Zwolle attack with ten Eredivisie goals in 24 appearances, but his scoring rate has dipped of late.
- Tristan Gooijer has chipped in with three goals in FC Zwolle’s last five matches.
- Mika Godts is Ajax’s top scorer in the Eredivisie this term with 13 goals in 22 league appearances and five of those have come in their last five games.
Betting Insights
- Ajax are the short-priced favorites with odds of 1.76, with FC Zwolle listed at 4.1 and the draw priced at 3.9.
- The market suggests Ajax should win, but their recent away form (only two wins in six away - D3, L1) makes this less straightforward.
- Over 2.5 goals is available at 1.5 and looks sensible given both teams’ attacking intent.
Prediction
- Expect Ajax to take the win.
- Supporting pick: Over 2.5 goals at 1.5.
