Almere City and AFC Ajax Amsterdam will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 24 clash on Sunday (March 2nd). The game will be played at Yanmar Stadion.

Ajax, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over Go Ahead Eagles. Brian Brobbey broke the deadlock in the 56th minute while Oliver Edvardsen made sure of the result in the 86th minute following their visitors' reduction to 10 men midway through the second half.
