Here, Football Whispers will be giving an insight into what to expect from the game in this FC Volendam vs Ajax prediction article.

FC Volendam vs Ajax prediction: Ajax to run out comfortable winners

Key stats

• While Volendam have yet to taste defeat this term, they are also without a victory, having drawn all three of their matches so far, extending their winless streak to six matches dating back to the preseason.
• Volendam have also conceded in each of their last 13 games, although they have also found the back of the net in 10 straight matches ahead of this weekend's match.
• While Ajax have made a habit of flying out of the blocks, scoring the opener in five of their last six involvements, the reverse is the case for their hosts, who have conceded first in all but one of their previous six matches.

Correct score prediction: FC Volendam 1-3 Ajax

Given Volendam's frailties at the back, Ajax will back themselves to put a couple of goals past this weekend's opponents, and we can see the Amsterdam-based side claiming an emphatic victory at the end of the 90 minutes.

• DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%

FC Volendam preview: Anthony Descotte pushing for starting berth after dream debut

With Volendam two goals down against Telstar, Descotte was brought on for his first appearance and wasted no time endearing himself to his new employers with two well-taken goals to earn a point.

The 22-year-old Belgian has given Rick Kruys a selection headache ahead of Saturday's game, where he could be given the nod to feature right from the off.

Player to watch – Wout Weghorst

Back in Dutch football for the first time since 2018, Weghorst netted 10 goals in 24 matches for Ajax as they just about missed out on Eredivisie glory to PSV Eindhoven.

With three goals in as many games so far, the 33-year-old is set for another impressive campaign leading the line for his current employers.

Aiming to continue his early quest for the Golden Boot award, Weghorst will be aiming to follow up his two-goal haul last time out and is one to keep an eye on.
