Volendam vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | May 5th 2024

Volendam will host Ajax Amsterdam at the Kras Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.

The home side have endured a poor campaign and look set to return to the Dutch second tier. They were beaten 1-0 by Sparta Rotterdam in their last match, conceding the sole goal of the game 15 minutes from normal time after struggling to fashion out goalscoring chances themselves.

Volendam sit 17th in the league table with just 19 points picked up so far. Failure to win on Sunday will end their chances of automatic safety.

Ajax have also struggled to impress this season and now look set to finish outside the top four for the first time in over two decades. They played out a 2-2 draw against Excelsior last time out and had looked set to be headed toward their first-ever home defeat to the Kralingers before former Middlesbrough man Chuba Akpom netted a late leveler.

The visitors sit fifth in the Eredivisie standings with 49 points from 31 matches and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
