Ajax head into this match having drawn three and lost one of their last five games, so they are not in their best shape. Utrecht are in even worse form, having lost three and drawn one of their last five, with just one win in that run. Recent meetings between these two sides have seen plenty of goals, with their last four matches all finishing with three or more goals, including a 1-1 draw and a 2-1 win for Ajax earlier this year.

Given Ajax's recent struggles and Utrecht's poor form, this match looks very close and hard to call. Both teams are finding it difficult to get wins, so it is likely to be a tight, low-scoring affair that could end in a draw, with neither side having a clear edge.
