Ajax vs Volendam Prediction and Betting Tips | January 26th 2023

Reigning champions Ajax will welcome FC Volendam to the Amsterdam Arena in the Eredivisie on Thursday.

The hosts are winless in their last six league outings, playing out consecutive draws in their last five games in the competition. They held league leaders Feyenoord to a 1-1 draw last time around, with Davy Klaassen scoring the equalizer in the 71st minute after Igor Paixão put Feyenoord ahead in the first half.

This string of draws has seen Ajax drop to fifth place in the league table, trailing league leaders Feyenoord by five points.

Volendam saw their winning run halted at two games as they suffered a 2-0 away defeat against Excelsior last Friday. They are just three points clear of the last-placed Cambur after 17 league outings.
