Willem II vs Ajax (9 January 2027, Eredivisie): match facts, form and head-to-head

Willem II head into the clash at home with just two points from five games, having failed to taste victory – two draws and three defeats leaving them languishing near the bottom with a 5‑14 goal deficit. Ajax sit comfortably in fifth place, boasting ten points after three wins, a draw and a single loss, and they carry a healthy +8 goal difference, having scored 14 and conceded six. The Dutch giants will look to extend their recent run of form and pull further away from the relegation battle, while Willem II will be desperate to turn one of their stubborn draws into a win and climb out of the danger zone. A win for Willem II could dramatically tighten the lower‑table scramble, whereas a victory for Ajax would cement their push for a European spot.
