Feyenoord vs Ajax Prediction: It’s time for “De Klassieker”

Unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, Feyenoord welcomes Ajax to the legendary De Kuip Stadium on Sunday in a clash between two teams that traditionally play interesting and suspenseful games. The guests have a chance with a win to reduce the advantage of the leader of the table, and thus to join the battle for the title. On the other hand, Feyenoord will probably be satisfied with a draw. A serious crisis is shaking Ajax, and while they stumble from round to round, they have not triumphed since November, Feyenoord creates an advantage. This team took advantage of the mistakes of the main rivals Ajax and PSV, escaped the competition and consolidated in the first position.

Fyenoord are great this season and a miracle needs to happen for this team to spoil the fun of their fans. The clash with Ajax will be a real test of their capabilities, but they are certainly favorites against any team when they play at home where they have 5 wins and 2 defeats this season. Moreover, they have a five-point advantage over their visitors. 

The champion of the Netherlands put the defense of the throne in question with a disastrous series of results that continued in 2023. The Amsterdamers played a goalless draw with Twente in the 16th round of the Eredivisie. It was Ajax's fourth consecutive draw, i.e. the fifth tied match without a victory in the championship, after which the defense of the throne became an even more difficult task. Ajax are currently in 4th position with 32 points. As a visitor Ajax have 5 wins, 2 draws and a defeat. 

This derby is not only for points, but it is also about reputation, pride, and passion and both teams will want to win. Feyenoord are in much better form at the moment, their confidence is high and it is visible on the pitch. In the last few years Ajax were dominating in this stadium as it was against most of the teams in the league, but this season it might be different. Although it is difficult to predict such matches with a lot of fame and pressure around them, in this De Klassieker home team enters as a favorite and we can certainly expect quality football and many goals.
