- Away form: Ajax are unbeaten away from home in the Eredivisie 2026/2027, winning 2 from 2 and scoring 6 goals in the process.

An away win for Ajax is the smart bet
Fortuna Sittard (7 points from 4 games) are one place behind 5th-placed Ajax (7 points from 4) in the Eredivisie 2026/2027, but the odds suggest that the visitors are the runaway favorites at 1.52.
Fortuna have been rated at 5.4 and the draw at 4.4, but we think Ajax can win this one and the odds are good enough to place a bet on it.
Ajax recovered from their 1-3 home defeat to PSV at the weekend, smashing Telstar 0-4 on the road in the Eredivisie 2026/2027.
The visitors are unbeaten from two away fixtures in the Eredivisie 2026/2027, scoring six goals in the process and they should find plenty of joy against Fortuna's leaky defence in this one.
Fortuna Sittard can score a goal
Head-to-head and recent form
Recent head-to-head results heavily favor de Godenzonen (Ajax), who have won their last three matches against Fortuna Sittard and won the last meeting between the two sides 4-1.
- Fortuna have won 3-1 at home to Cambuur Leeuwarden and 2-3 at FC Groningen this season, but the 0-2 home loss to AZ proved that the Fortunezen can be pinned back at times.
Tactical approaches
Danny Buijs keeps his Fortuna Sittard side compact, and the Fortunezen defend in a solid 4-2-3-1 shape, relying on a low block, quick transitions and set-piece goals to secure their results.
Míchel has set Ajax up to play on the front foot, and this week we can expect de Godenzonen to press high and play some good football in transition as their players rotate fluidly in a high-tempo 4-3-3. Ajax have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five competitive matches and this is a classic low-block vs high-press chess game, where Ajax's ability to win the ball high should be the difference.
The main selections
Ajax to win at 1.52 is our main selection for Saturday's Eredivisie 2026/2027 clash at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, where we think the head-to-head trends and Ajax's strong scoring form on the road will see them through. Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 will also appeal in this matchup, as Ajax's extra attacking quality should ensure that we see an open and lively game.
Ajax to win and over 2.5 goals is the accurate score prediction for Saturday's Eredivisie 2026/2027 matchup at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. While the Amsterdam outfit should have enough to edge this contest, Fortuna's counterattacking abilities suggest this shouldn't be a cakewalk for the traveling team.
