In a clash between two teams at opposite ends of the standings, FC Volendam will welcome Ajax to the Kras Stadion in the Eredivisie on Saturday (October 8).
Second-placed Ajax are winless in their last two league games after recording six straight wins. They fell to a 2-1 defeat to AZ Alkmaar last month and played out a 1-1 draw against Go Ahead Eagles in their first league game after the international break last week. Their winless run across competitions stretched to three games on Wednesday, as they were hammered 6-1 at home by Napoli in the UEFA Champions League.
