Head-to-head statistics Sparta - Ajax
Sparta: Disappointing Start
Sparta edged Willem II 3-2 at home in their most recent Eredivisie fixture. The match on 17 October 2026 was level at the break (1-1), but the hosts pulled ahead after halftime. Sparta dominated in terms of shots, outshooting their opponents 22 to 13 overall, including an impressive 18 to 7 from inside the box.
Sparta have endured a rough start to the new season, sitting 13th in the table with just nine points from nine rounds. Over their last ten matches, they have managed only two wins while suffering five defeats-a record that falls well short of preseason expectations. The main concern for the hosts remains their defense, which has been leaking an average of 2.5 goals per game during this stretch. On the attacking front, however, Sparta look far more promising, averaging 1.8 goals per outing. Their home fixtures, in particular, have delivered plenty of entertainment: six of their last seven matches on home soil have featured at least four goals. This trend is a result not only of their aggressive play going forward but also of frequent defensive lapses.
Match Results: Sparta
Ajax have claimed six wins in their last seven away matches
Ajax secured a 2-0 home win over Atalanta in the Conference League on 22 October 2026. In their latest outing, Ajax struck twice after the break and restricted their opponents to just a single shot on target, despite a narrow expected goals margin-1.8 to 1.51.
Ajax remain firmly in the hunt for a top finish in the Eredivisie, currently sitting fourth in the table with 18 points. The gap to the Champions League places is just two points, making it crucial for the Amsterdam side not to drop points against teams from the lower half of the standings. Over their last ten matches, Ajax have picked up six wins, boasting an impressive attacking record with an average of 3.1 goals per game. They've been particularly strong on the road, claiming victory in six of their previous seven away fixtures in the Eredivisie. However, their defensive line has shown some vulnerability, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Ajax head into this clash as clear favourites, and it’s easy to see why given the gulf in quality and current form. The visitors have been consistently finding the net and look well-placed to capitalise on Sparta’s defensive frailties-Sparta are conceding over two goals per game on average. At the same time, the hosts tend to play open, attacking football at home, often resulting in high-scoring affairs. Taking into account Ajax’s attacking firepower and Sparta’s home style, our pick is over 3.5 total goals.
