Considered strong candidates in the title race, Ajax Amsterdam has been setting the stage ablaze with their terrific pꦫerformances this season. They are positioned in second place in the standings, and a win here could narrow down the point ga🌊p to first place to a mere four points. 

On a Sunday, Francesco Farioli's men secured a gutsy 2-1 away victory over NEC Nijmegen courtesy of Wout Weghorst's brace. They come into this match unbeaten🌃 in their last 11 lea🍒gue games (W10, D2) since a 2-1 thrashing at the hands of NAC Breda on August 18th.

Formation: 4-3-3

FC Utrecht have also bee🧸n impressive this season, and they, too, are in the title race discussion. With 31 points a🅺massed from 13 games, they occupy third place, and a win here could see them narrow down the daunting eight-point gap at the top to a manageable five points. 

Unfortunately for Utrecht, they weren't lucky as their opponents over the weekend in claiming maximum points. PSV Eindh🦋oven's visit to the Stadion Galgenwaard witnessed them fall victim to a 5-2 thrashing. While this result halted a four-match winning streak in the league, it was just their second defeat of the season, with the first being inflicted by Feyenoord (0-2) on October 27th.

Formation: 4-3-3

• Ajax Amsterdam is currently on a six-match winning streak at home in the Eredivisie.
• FC Utrecht is currently on a two-match losing streak when playing away against Ajax Amsterdam.
• Ajax Amsterdam averages 2.5 goals per game when playing at home, and FC Utrecht averages 2 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 67 meetings, Ajax Amsterdam has won 36 times, FC Utrecht has won 19 times, and there have been 12 draws, with the goal difference being 130-76 in favor of Ajax Amsterdam.&nbs♉p;

Ajax Amsterdam did well to immediately bounce back with a convincing league win after their UEFA Europa League setback against Real Sociedad. I believe they'll be able to deliver yet another impressive performance this time at home, where theyꦗ've been a difficꦯult team to overcome. 

The Amsterdammers are one of the two tea🍃ms, alongside table-toppers PSV Eindhoven, to maintain a 100% record at home this season. With such a feat, I expect t🍬hem to secure a comfortable win in this matchup by supporting them in the full-time market combined with a total of over 1.5 goals.
