This season, the Dutch giants have been setting records, but unfortunately, they've been breaking them for all the wrong reasons. Their last match against Feyenoord in the derby saw them succumb to a shocking 6-0 defeat on the road, which was marked down on paper as their heaviest defeat in 97 years.

The Amsterdammers have recorded just two wins in their last ten matches in the Eredivisie (D5, L3), showcasing a side that has grappled with inconsistency, and it's safe to say that they have endured a dismal season where they'll miss out on the Champions League qualification for the second time in a row.

With 45 points accumulated from 29 matches, Ajax Amsterdam now sits in sixth place in the Eredivisie standings, three points ahead of the seventh-placed Go Ahead Eagles and one point behind the fifth-placed NEC Nijmegen.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

FC Twente, on the other hand, had no trouble dispatching Fortuna Sittard 2-0 at home to extend their winning streak against the Danny Buijs team to four matches.  

They are currently on a three-match unbeaten run (W2, D1) and have lost just one of their last seven matches (W5, D1). Away from home, they are currently on a two-match winless run (L1, D1) and will be aiming to return to winning ways.

With 60 points accumulated from 29 matches, FC Twente sits in third place in the Eredivisie, eight points ahead of fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar and nine points behind second-placed Feyenoord. 

Formation: 4-2-3-1

• Ajax Amsterdam are currently on a two-match losing streak when playing against FC Twente.
• FC Twente have won two of their last five away matches in the Eredivisie.
• Ajax Amsterdam averages 2.29 goals per game when playing at home, and FC Twente averages 1.79 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 65 meetings, Ajax Amsterdam have won 36 times, FC Twente have won 14 times, and there have been 15 draws, with the goal difference being 131-68 in favor of Ajax Amsterdam. 

Ajax Amsterdam has slipped from fifth to sixth place in the league standings after suffering a century-thrashing defeat against Feyenoord in their previous outing. They are now determined to redeem themselves at home despite facing a team that beat them 3-1 in the reverse fixture, making them unfavorable in the full-time market.

Therefore, we anticipate the total goals to exceed 2.5, as this has occurred in seven of their last ten encounters. With the possibility of an unpredictable outcome, picking a winner here could prove challenging.
