Ajax host Volendam to their Johan Cruijff Arena in an Eredivisie clash, with the home side looking to maintain momentum after a thrilling 2-1 Champions League win over Villarreal. Given Volendam's struggles on the road, we predict a 3-1 home win. Despite missing key attackers Wout Weghorst and Steven Berghuis, Ajax remain formidable at Johan Cruyff Arena, boasting 70% win rate this season and an average of 2.9 goals per game. They are prolific offensively, scoring 5.29 goals per game at home in recent matches, but their defensive record is shaky, with only 20% clean sheets overall.
Volendam arrive in good spirits after a 2-1 home victory against Utrecht, but they face a tough task on the road, having won just 25% of away matches and scoring only 0.5 goals per away game. Midfielder Robin van Cruijsen is suspended, though he isn’t a regular starter. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Amsterdam.
Ajax’s dominance in recent head-to-head clashes is evident, winning 5 of the last 7 meetings, with Volendam yet to taste victory. Given Ajax's fine form at home, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, with additional value on Ajax/Ajax and Over 2.5 goals.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:30.
