A return to second-tier Dutch football is now becoming inevitable as each matchday passes for Volendam, who have endured a dismal season. In their latest match, they succumbed to a 1-0 away defeat against Sparta Rotterdam, which marked their 20th defeat in 31 matches played.
In light of this result, they have seen their losing run in the league extend to two matches. However, a glimpse into their poor form has seen them notch just one win in their last fifteen matches (L9, D5), and nothing much can be expected from them in this one.
With 19 points accumulated from 31 matches, FC Volendam occupies the 17th spot within the relegation zone in the Eredivisie standings and is seven points adrift of safety.

Ajax Amsterdam
Form: DWLDW
The 2023–24 season will forever haunt the Amsterdam outfit as the worst nightmare campaign in years. Ajax Amsterdam have had their highs and lows, and their most recent match against Excelsior was a depiction of a low as they forced a 2-2 in front of their fans.
However, unlike their opponents in this impending encounter, who have notched a single win in 2024 thus far, they've tried to make ends meet, though three wins in twelve matches (D6, L3) isn't cause for celebration as their form has been shaky.
With 49 points accumulated from 31 matches, Ajax Amsterdam sits in fifth place in the Eredivisie standings and has maintained a two-point cushion over sixth-placed NEC Nijmegen.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-3-2-1
