Prediction: 3-2
AZ
Ajax will be looking to clinch their 35th Eredivisie title when they host AZ Alkmaar at their Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday afternoon. The Amsterdammers suffered elimination in the Europa League knockout stages, meaning that they will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Since Erik ten Hag can count on key players for Sunday’s clash, home win should be considered. A man to watch in the home team will be Serbia international Dusan Tadic, who is not getting any older.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, aim to put an extra pressure on second-place PSV, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Dutch top flight. Liverpool target Teun Koopmeiners, though, remains on the sidelines through suspension, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders.
Highlighted Player (Davy Klaassen):
Davy Klaassen is a product of Ajax’s youth academy. He played for the Amsterdammers at youth level from 2004 to 2012 and he made his debut for the senior team against Olympique Lyon in the Champions League group stages. Klaassen was born on 22 February, 1993 in Hilversum, Netherlands and he plays as an attacking midfielder.
He is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well and it has to be noted that the Dutch footballer scored 13 goals in 31 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 Eredivisie campaign. Klaassen has four caps for Netherlands U21 team and he made his debut for the first team on 5 March, 2014 in a friendly against France.
The Dutch midfielder scored his first goal for the national team against Spain on 31 March, 2015 and, no doubt, that was one of the brightest moments of his career. The Ajax footballer won his third Eredivisie trophy with the Amsterdammers in the 2013/2014 campaign.

AZ Alkmaar are a professional football club that play their home matches at AFAS Stadion. The venue was opened on 4 August, 2006 and the construction of the stadium cost €38 million. AFAS Stadion is able to hold 17 023 spectators.
The Cheeseheads were founded on 10 May, 1967 and they won their first trophy in 1981, finishing the season 12 points clear of Dutch giants Ajax. 18 years later AZ clinched their second Eredivisie trophy, with the team finishing the 2008/2009 campaign with 80 points, 11 clear of second-placed Twente. In 1981 the club made it to the UEFA Cup final, but English side Ipswich Town proved to be a big catch for the Dutch team.
