Ajax vs Utrecht

AMSTERDAM (Interstat) — Ajax hosts Utrecht on Sunday, May 10, in an Eredivisie clash that carries significant momentum for both sides. The match at Johan Cruyff Arena offers Ajax a chance to avenge its 2-1 loss at Utrecht from Nov. 9, 2025.

Ajax enters the game unbeaten in its last five matches across all competitions. Most recently, the Amsterdam side drew 2-2 with PSV on Saturday, May 2. Before that, Ajax posted a 3-1 win over Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt on May 1 in European play. Ajax also defeated NAC Breda 2-0 on April 25. Other recent results include a 4-2 win over Paderborn, a 3-0 victory at Heracles, and a 1-0 loss at Twente on April 4. Ajax’s form has been steady overall, with only two losses in its last 10 outings.

Utrecht arrives in Amsterdam on a three-match win streak. The visitors beat NAC Breda 2-0 on May 2, following a 5-0 loss to Excelsior on April 26. That defeat snapped a strong run that saw Utrecht win five of six matches. During that stretch, they defeated Telstar 4-1, narrowly lost 4-3 at PSV, beat Sparta Rotterdam on penalties, downed AZ 2-0, routed Sparta 5-2, drew 1-1 with PEC Zwolle, and won at Groningen 2-1 and at NEC 3-1. Utrecht’s only other recent loss came Feb. 8 against Feyenoord.

The head-to-head record favors Utrecht, which won the most recent meeting. However, the Interstat game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Ajax on Sunday.

Following this match, Ajax faces a quick turnaround with a trip to Bodø/Glimt on May 16 and a league match at Heerenveen on May 17. Utrecht’s next game is at home against Fortuna Sittard on May 17.
