Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Ajax Amsterdam reignited their confidence with a comfortable 4-1 win over FC Volendam at Kras Stadion. This follows a 2-2 draw against Excelsior at home, which was a favorablefavorable outcome at the end of the day considering they were at a numerical disadvantage with Steven Bergwijn receiving his marching orders in the 35th minute.

Having endured a horror season, picking up 14 wins from their last 32 matches alongside 8 draws and 10 losses, the four-time European Cup champions can only settle for a lowly fifth-place finish this season and are in no position to voice their complaints as they've contributed to their own downfall. 

At home, they are currently on a thirteen-match unbeaten run (W7, D6) and will fancy their chances of extending that unbeaten run.

With 52 points accumulated from 32 matches, Ajax Amsterdam sits in fifth place in the Eredivisie standings, has maintained a two-point cushion over sixth-placed NEC Nijmegen,  and is eleven points adrift of third-placed FC Twente.

Almere City played out a 1-1 draw against Heerenveen at home. They took the lead through Hansen's goal in the 47th minute, only to be pegged back by a late equalizer from Sahraoui.

Almere City are currently on a ten-match winless run, recording three losses and seven draws. Away from home, they are currently on a five-match winless run, recording four draws and one loss, and could likely struggle here.

With 34 points accumulated from 32 matches, Almere City occupies the 13th position in the Eredivisie standings and has maintained an eight-point cushion over the relegation playoffs.
