Fortuna Sittard vs AFC Ajax Prediction Eredivisie · Sep 12, 2026

Analysis

Fortuna Sittard have started well: seven points from four games, 8 goals scored and 7 conceded, fifth in the table, with a 3-2 win at Groningen and a 2-2 draw at PSV as the highlights. The 0-2 home defeat to AZ is the warning sign, and Sittard have conceded in all four league matches so far. Ajax are unbeaten after a 2-0 win at PEC Zwolle, a 2-2 home draw with Heerenveen and a 4-0 demolition at Telstar; that last result is not yet reflected in the standings, where they sit ninth on 4 points from just two played with games in hand. Across those three league outings Ajax have scored 8 and conceded only 2, and the Telstar performance suggests the attack has clicked. Fortuna score at home too - 3-1 against Cambuur - so a clean sheet for the visitors is far from certain, but Ajax's greater scoring depth should settle it. A 1-2 away win with goals at both ends is the most likely shape.
