Ajax vs Feyenoord prediction, preview, team news and more | Eredivisie 2021-22
Ajax host Feyenoord at the Johan Cruijff Arena in the Eredivisie on Sunday, with both sides having strong seasons so far.
Ajax are at the top of the table, two points ahead of PSV Eindhoven. Erik ten Hag's side were knocked out of the Champions League by Benfica in midweek and will be looking to bounce back with a win against Feyenoord on Sunday.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League by beating Partizan Belgrade 3-1 in midweek. Arne Slot's side are currently third in the league, six points behind PSV. They will hope to bring their momentum into the game against Ajax on Sunday.
Both sides have been in strong form of late and that should make for an exciting matchup.
