Latest news
Twente
Twente have several injury concerns ahead of their meeting with Ajax. Filip Thorvaldsen, Max Bruns, Lars Unnerstall and Stav Lemkin are all currently struggling with fitness issues. Thorvaldsen, Unnerstall and Lemkin are close to returning, while Bruns is expected to need a few more days to recover.
Ajax
Ajax head into the match with a considerably longer injury list. Julian Brandt, Sofyan Amrabat, Anton Gaaei, Kasper Dolberg, Oliver Edvardsen and Viktor Tsygankov are unavailable, with Dolberg ruled out for the rest of the season. Caio Henrique and Simon Adingra remain doubtful, although both are approaching full fitness.
Match Result Prediction
Ajax have not lost in 15 of their last 16 away matches. They have won all five of their away matches this season, but Twente are also strong at home, with four wins in five matches. Given these contrasting records, we are backing Double Chance - X2 rather than an outright win, at odds of 1.63*.
Corners Prediction
Twente have taken more than 4.5 corners in 11 of their last 12 league matches. However, they took fewer than 5.5 corners in seven of their last eight home head-to-head meetings - this limits confidence in a higher line, but does not rule out five corners. We pick Twente Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at odds of 1.45*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Twente have both scored and conceded in nine of their last ten home head-to-head meetings with Ajax. In recent matches, Twente have averaged 1.83 goals at home, while Ajax have averaged 3.8 away. The caveat is that Twente have conceded just 0.83 goals on average in their recent home matches; with that in mind, we pick Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.37*.
*The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Twente are considered slight favourites for the match, but Ajax are unlikely to agree with that assessment. The visitors are also in excellent form and have a potent attack capable of causing serious problems for the hosts' defence. For that reason, rather than backing either side to win, it is preferable to focus on goals. The head-to-head statistics also support this choice: at least four goals have been scored in seven of the last eight meetings between the teams at Twente's ground. Given both sides' attacking potential and their desire to win, we expect an open game with plenty of chances. The editor's main pick is Total Goals - Over 3.
