Fortuna Sittard will host AFC Ajax Amsterdam at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday in the 15th round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season, sitting ninth in the table with 18 points, but could climb into the qualification playoff spots with a win on Saturday.
Fortuna were the significantly better side against Heracles Almelo last time out, but had to settle for a point as the game ended 1-1. Kristoffer Peterson put FSC ahead at the break with his first Eredivisie goal since March before their previously subdued opponents leveled the score early in the second half.
Thanks for the submission!
AFC Ajax Amsterdam, meanwhile, traded tackles with Groningen on Sunday, but the game was abandoned after just six minutes due to fireworks being set off in the stands. The clash resumed on Tuesday night, with Ajax winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Mika Godts and 18-year-old defender Aaron Bouwman, who scored his first professional goal.
The visitors were far from their best against Groningen, but have climbed up to fifth place in the table and could finish the round in the top three with another win on Saturday.

Fortuna Sittard vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction
Fortuna are on a run of back-to-back draws and have won just one of their last six league games. They have, however, picked up four of their five Eredivisie wins this season at home, and that should give them confidence heading into Saturday’s fixture.
De Godenzonen, meanwhile, snapped a four-game losing streak with Tuesday’s result and will be looking to kick on from that. They have had the upper hand in this fixture historically and should win this one.
