The most anticipated match in the Dutch Eredivisie league is here, as Ajax host Feyenoord in de Klassieker on Sunday. The home team is not having a good start to the season, and a win here will make things better for them, while Feyenoord are doing well in both the Champions League and Eredivisie.
Ajax are currently sitting in 12th place in the Dutch Eredivisie standings. They aren’t having a good start to the season, with only one win in four games. Ajax were so close to beating Marseille in their first group stage match in the UEL, but Aubameyang put up a great performance to equalize at the end.
Feyenoord are currently sitting in fourth place in the Dutch Eredivisie standings. They beat Celtic in their first group stage game in the UCL on Tuesday. The team has a great scoring record so far in the season, as they scored 19 goals in the first five Eredivisie games.

Ajax are coming off a thrilling 3-3 home draw with Marseille in the Europa League. The Sons of the Gods started this game really well and were ahead by two goals in the first 20 minutes, but they only got one point after a comeback from Aubameyang’s Marseille. Forbs, Berghuis, and Taylor scored the goals for Ajax in that game.
Feyenoord are coming off a big 2-0 home win over Celtic in the Champions League. Stengs and Jahanbakhsh scored the winning goals for the team. Feyenoord have been very consistent so far this season and are in great form despite losing a few midfield players during the summer transfer window.
There have been a lot of goals in the last few games of the Klassieker. In the last five head-to-head matches, Ajax won three, drew one, and Feyenoord won one. The last game between them was in the KNVB Cup semi-final, and Ajax won it.

Feyenoord will have two more days of rest after playing on Tuesday in the UCL, while Ajax played on Thursday in the UEL. The Rotterdam team is on a four-game winning streak, while Ajax have been disappointing so far, as they have won only one of their first four Eredivisie matches.
We have Feyenoord finishing above Ajax in our Eredivisie 23/24 predictions, as they are the more ready team and are in much better form right now. Expect the Pride of the South to finally beat arch-rivals in the away game.

Santiago Gimenez was suspended for the team’s Champions League game, but he should be back and ready for this one. He has scored five goals and gotten one assist in his last four starts for Feyenoord. The Mexican striker has also scored in two consecutive matches against Ajax.
Ajax have a quite healthy squad for this game, as everyone is really except for Rulli and Kaplan, who are out with long-term injuries. Expect the same squad as in the Europa League game against Marseille.
Feyenoord don’t have any new injuries, as Bijlow, Ueda, and Nieuwkoop are all still out, while Gimenez is expected to be back.
De Klassieker is always fun to watch and has a lot of goals, like the Eredivisie in general. We will be going with Feyenoord to keep their good form and get a win.
