Ajax vs Zwolle Odds
Ajax Team News
After a disastrous start to the championship, Ajax has finally begun to play in line with the club’s reputation. However, the terrible results from the beginning have led to the host being in fifth place on the table after fifteen played matches, with a staggering 21 points less than the leader and their biggest rival, PSV, and the chances for the championship title seem to be reduced to theoretical. Nevertheless, the team from Amsterdam will surely not give up, aiming for one of the Top 3 positions that lead to the Champions League, which seems like a more achievable mission considering the nine and eleven-point gaps behind AZ and Feyenoord, respectively.
Ajax secured third place and a spot in the Round of 16 of the Conference League with a victory in the last round of the Europa League group stage against AEK. Undoubtedly, they must be satisfied with this result, especially considering their performances in the first five matches (two draws and three defeats).

Zwolle Team News
Looking solely at their position on the table, Zwolle can be satisfied with their performance in the current part of the season, as they are in 11th place. However, considering they have only four points more than Almere City, which is in the relegation zone, it is clear that they have a long way ahead to distance themselves from the danger zone and secure survival.
Zwolle has displayed inconsistent performance throughout the season, and their form in the last five matches best confirms this. The visitors recorded two victories (against Sittard 2:0 and Volendam 5:0) along with three defeats (to PSV 4:0, Waalwijk 1:2, and NEC Nijmegen 1:3), and there is no doubt that they face a challenging task if they want to return from Amsterdam without a loss.

Ajax vs Zwolle Prediction
In the last month, Ajax is starting to resemble a team that has been at the top of Dutch football for decades. If they want to continue at the same pace, they must not allow setbacks against teams from the lower half of the table, such as Zwolle. Also, their victory against AEK and qualification for the Round of 16 in the Conference League have given them additional confidence ahead of this match.
