Fortuna Sittard will host AFC Ajax Amsterdam at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home team have endured a difficult start to the year and are losing ground in the race for the continental playoffs as they sit eighth in the table with 26 points from 21 matches.
They played out a 2-2 draw away at Heerenveen last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a perhaps deserved defeat before Rodrigo Guth headed home a late goal to rescue a point for Danny Buijs' men.
AFC Ajax Amsterdam, meanwhile, are enjoying a brilliant run of form in the league at the moment as they continue their quest for a return to the pinnacle of Dutch football. They beat rivals Feyenoord 2-1 in their game last weekend, with Kenneth Taylor scoring a late winner to send the home fans into raptures.

The visitors, who sit second in the league table with 48 points, are only two points behind champions PSV Eindhoven at the top of the pile despite playing a game fewer and could potentially go top with a win on Sunday.
