Ajax vs FC Volendam Prediction: Stats, Tips & Storylines for 2026

Welcome, football fans and savvy punters, to our Ajax vs FC Volendam prediction, where we break down the upcoming Eredivisie match on January 24, 2026, at the Johan Cruijff Arena. With Ajax chasing the top spots and Volendam fighting to escape the drop zone, this fixture promises drama, goals, and—if our stats are right—a few surprises for your sports betting slips!

Ajax and Volendam: A Tale of Two Seasons

Let’s set the scene: Ajax, the Amsterdam giants, currently sit proudly in 3rd place, boasting 34 points and a solid 67% win rate from their last six league outings. The boys in red and white are used to dictating the tempo, and with 67% expected ball possession, they’re likely to keep the ball rolling—literally and figuratively.

FC Volendam, meanwhile, are 15th in the Eredivisie, with just 17 points and a worrying 83% loss rate in their recent league matches. They may have pulled off a shock 2-1 win against Sparta Rotterdam last week, but their overall form suggests they’ll need more than a bit of luck in Amsterdam.

Head to Head: History Favors Ajax

  • In 9 league meetings, Ajax have won 7 times. Volendam? Still waiting for their first.
  • Across all competitions, Ajax are unbeaten in the last 7, with 5 wins and 2 draws.
  • Their last Eredivisie encounter ended 1-1, showing Volendam can occasionally spoil the party.

If you’re looking at betting odds, history says put your money on Ajax—but football has a funny way of ignoring the script.

Squad News: Who’s In, Who’s Out?

Both teams have some key players missing, which could shake up the tactics and your sports betting picks:

  1. Ajax Injuries/Suspensions:
    • Youri Baas (defender): Out with a possible groin injury.
    • Owen Wijndal: Suspended until Jan 25 for a red card.
    • Takehiro Tomiyasu: Sidelined with fitness issues.
    • Wout Weghorst: Nursing an ankle sprain.
    • Steven Berghuis: Out with a groin problem.
    • Brian Brobbey: Dealing with a thigh injury.
    • Josip Sutalo: Ankle injury.
    • Davy Klaassen: Out due to illness.
  2. FC Volendam Injuries:
    • Henk Veerman: Injured.
    • Yannick Leliendal: Injured.

With Ajax’s squad valued at €1.29.50m versus Volendam’s €12.75m, the gulf in resources is clear. But as we saw in their recent 2-1 away win at Villarreal (with odds of 9.5!), Ajax can still surprise—even when the odds are stacked.

AI Betting Tips and Ajax vs FC Volendam Prediction

Now, let’s dive into the numbers and tips that matter for your sports betting slips. Here’s what our AI and expert analysis say for the Ajax vs FC Volendam prediction:

  • 1x2 Prediction: Home win (Ajax) with a confidence level of 9.5 and odds of 1.35. The stats—and the head to head record—make this a strong favorite.
  • HS2+ (Ajax to score at least two goals): This is our best tip, with a trust rating of 9.5/10 and odds of 1.35. With Ajax averaging 17 shots and 7 on target, expect them to find the net more than once.
  • Over 2.5 Goals: Our AI gives this an 8.0 confidence rating and odds of 1.42. Both teams have shown they can score, and with an expected final score of 3:2, goals are on the menu.

For those who love stats, here’s what to expect:

  1. Ball Possession: Ajax 67%, Volendam 33%. Ajax will control the tempo and, likely, the scoreboard.
  2. Shots: Ajax 17 (7 on target), Volendam 9 (2 on target). Ajax’s attack should keep Volendam’s keeper busy.
  3. Corners: 4 for Ajax, 2 for Volendam. Set pieces could play a part, but expect more from open play.
  4. Yellow Cards: One apiece—so don’t expect a dirty game, just a competitive one.

Final Thoughts: Where to Put Your Money?

Given the betting odds, Ajax are overwhelming favorites, but Volendam’s recent away win shows they can pull off surprises. Still, our Ajax vs FC Volendam prediction is clear: back the home win, expect Ajax to score at least two, and don’t rule out a high-scoring affair. If you’re feeling bold, a 3:2 scoreline at full time could spice up your sports betting ticket.

Whatever you choose, enjoy the match, bet responsibly, and remember: in football, anything can happen—except maybe Volendam winning at the Johan Cruijff Arena!
