Ajax Amsterdam vs Fortuna Sittard Prediction: The Amsterdammers Are Back In League Action And Are Hungry For Success!

Ajax Amsterdam will welcome Fortuna Sittard to the Johan Cruijff ArenA in the third round of the Eredivisie. 

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between Ajax Amsterdam vs. Fortuna Sittard, probable lineups, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Ajax Amsterdam has not been involved in league action for quite some time due to their commitments in the Europa League. The Amsterdammers have lost just one of their last six qualifying games in this competition, guaranteeing them a spot in the league phase, with their first group stage match being against Besiktas a week from now.

Francesco Farioli's men opened their 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign with a 1-0 home victory against Robin van Persie's Heerenveen. However, this followed a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to new boys NAC Breda. It's safe to say their performance in either match was very convincing. 

With 3 points on board from two matches, Ajax Amsterdam occupies 15th place in the Eredivisie standings and is hovering one place above the relegation play-offs. They are three points ahead of sixth-placed Feyenoord. 

Formation: 4-3-3

Before a two-week hiatus, Fortuna Sittard saw their two-match winning run in the league halted by a disappointing 3-0 defeat against NEC Nijmegen.

However, their return to league action was marked by another disappointing outcome, losing 1-0 away to NAC Breda, extending their losing run to two matches. Away from home, they have won just one of their last seven matches (L4, D2) and come into this match seeking an improved display. 

With six points on board from four matches, Fortuna Sittard occupies 7th place in the Eredivisie standings. They are one point ahead of 12th-placed FC Twente and are four points behind third-placed FC Utrecht. 

Formation: 4-2-3-1

While Ajax Amsterdam has been behind unconvincing performances, particularly in the Eredivisie, there's also no denying the fact that they are the better side on paper compared to other opponents in this impending encounter. Fortuna, on the other side, have struggled on the road, particularly in this fixture, and nothing much can be expected from them here other than a convincing defeat.
