Vitesse vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam prediction, preview, team news and more | Eredivisie 2023-24

Vitesse will host AFC Ajax Amsterdam at Gelredome on Sunday in the final round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign. The hosts have endured a difficult campaign on and off the pitch and will play in the Dutch second tier next season as they sit bottom in the league table with five points following a hefty points deduction.

However, they secured a 3-1 comeback win over Heerenveen last time out, with former Chelsea man Marco van Ginkel scoring a brace before Thomas Buitink came off the bench to seal the win in additional time.

Ajax have also had a disappointing campaign and will finish the season in fifth place. They beat Almere City 3-0 in their last match, with team captain Steven Bergwijn scoring a brilliant first-half hat-trick to hand the Amsterdam outfit maximum points in their final home game of the season.

Vitesse vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction

Vitesse have won two of their last three games after going winless in their seven games prior. They have, however, won just one of their last eight home matches and could struggle here.

Ajax are on a four-game unbeaten run and have lost just one of their last 10 Eredivisie outings. They have won two of their last three games on the road and should come out on top here as well.

Prediction: Vitesse 1-3 Ajax
