Ajax will take on Feyenoord in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 2 February in a huge match at the top of the league table. Both clubs are currently trying to hunt down PSV at the top of the Eredivisie and it's the hosts who have the better chance given they are currently in second place, just four points behind the leaders. Feyenoord won't have given up on the title just yet but this is a must-win match for them as they are 13 points behind PSV and nine behind Ajax.

Ajax vs Feyenoord prediction: The hosts to pick up an important win
Key Stats
- Ajax have won their last four home matches in all competitions.
- Feyenoord have won just one of their last four away matches in all competitions.
- Both teams have scored in four of Ajax's last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Ajax 2-1 Feyenoord
Ajax have been in good form recently and they are a team that nobody in the Netherlands currently wants to face. Feyenoord, meanwhile, are three matches without a win now in the Eredivisie and that isn't the type of form that you want before a trip to the Amsterdam Arena.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Ajax are only narrow favourites
- HOME: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 19/10 (2.90) – 34.5%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change The Ajax vs Feyenoord odds are slightly surprising in that the hosts are only the slight favourites despite the contrasting form of the two sides. Ladbrokes have given Ajax a 44.4% chance of winning the match while Feyenoord have been given a 34.5% chance of taking away all three points.

Most recent H2Hs: A good fixture for whoever is the away team
Interestingly, home support doesn't seem to have a huge impact on this fixture as in four of the last five meetings between Ajax and Feyenoord, the team playing away from home has won the match. That should fill Feyenoord with some confidence ahead of Sunday, especially as they won 4-0 on their last visit to this stadium.

Ajax preview: Looking to get their crown back
With 36 titles to their name, Ajax are the undisputed kings of Dutch football but they have now gone two seasons without the league title and they won't want to make it three. The last time they went three years without lifting the Eredivisie was in 2017. Predicted lineup: Pasveer (GK), Gaaei, Sutalo, Baas, Hato, Henderson, Fitz-Jim, Taylor, Godts, Weghorst, Traore

Feyenoord preview: Looking to get over their midweek battering
Although Feyenoord did end up qualifying for the Champions League playoffs, they did suffer a brutal end to the league phase in the week, losing 6-1 away to Lille. In many ways, a match against another big team is just what the doctor ordered as it gives the players a chance to immediately put things right. Predicted lineup: Wellenreuther (GK), Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Smal, Beelen, Milambo, Hwang, Moussa, Ueda, Paixao

Player to watch: Jordan Henderson
After failing to get his desired move to Monaco over the line, it will be fascinating to see how Jordan Henderson fares for Ajax on Sunday. The former Liverpool man is no longer the captain and could face a frosty reception from the home fans.
