Ajax Amsterdam suffered an embarrassing loss to FC Utrecht over the weekend. Francesco Farioli's men lost 4-0 on the road. The last time they suffered a damaging loss without scoring a goal was on April 7 when they lost 6-0 to Feyenoord.
The Amsterdammers, before this defeat, were on a 14-match unbeaten run with 13 wins and one draw recorded. During this period, their defence was the most impressive, with nine clean sheets preserved.
The hosts shouldn't panic as they still have a firm grip at the top of the Eredivisie summit. They are six points ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven, and a win here could widen the point gap to nine, albeit temporarily.
Ajax Amsterdam: Team News
Ajax Amsterdam have no fresh injury news to report on at the moment. Regulars, Youri Bass (groin injury), and Branco van den Boomen remain sidelined due to injury.
Jordan Henderson has accumulated too many yellow cards, and his booking against FC Utrecht last time out means he will miss this match.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Lima; Gaaei, Sutalo, Kaplan, Hato; Klaassen, Mokio, Taylor; Godts, Brobbey, Berghuis
⛔️ Out: Jordan Henderson (suspended), Youri Baas (groin injury), Branco van den Boomen (injury)
👤 Head coach: Francesco Farioli

Sparta Rotterdam appeared as if they would finish the season in the bottom three. To make it clear, the relegation playoff spot. However, that will not be the case as they are in 11th place and currently challenging for European qualification.
The Castle Lords were recently on a 13-match winless run in the Eredivisie. Their league performance has significantly improved as they have won six of their last ten matches heading into this clash.
The visitors' last league game saw them dispatch Heerenveen 3-1 at home. This extended their winning streak to three games with eight goals scored. Away from home, they recently put an end to a three-match winless run beating Fortuna Sittard 3-0.
Sparta Rotterdam: Team News
Shunsuke Mito continues to be in the injury room for Sparta Rotterdam and will not play any part this Sunday. Joel Ideho is expected to fill for him until he recovers.
Head coach Maurice Steijn won't fix what is not broken and will continue with the same lineup that thrashed Heerenveen 3-1 last time out.
This means we can expect a 4-3-3 formation again with Tobias Lauritsen leading the attack. Mitchell van Bergen and Joel Ideho are expected to provide support from the wings.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Olij; Bakari, Young, Eerdhuijzen, van Aanholt; Hlynsson, Zechiel, Eiting; van Bergen, Lauritsen, Ideho
⛔️ Out: Shunsuke Mito (injured)
👤 Head coach: Maurice Steijn

Ajax Amsterdam vs Sparta Rotterdam match prediction 27 April 2025
Ajax Amsterdam's performance against FC Utrecht was incredibly shocking. However, that one setback shouldn't set them up for failure in this impending encounter. The hosts have been a force to be reckoned with in this fixture, and their win shouldn't be doubted.
Sparta Rotterdam have been in great form in the league lately, but their unbeaten run is under threat. Their performance in this fixture has been poor, going without a win in 17 encounters.
I don't see the visitors causing an upset here, which is why I'm tempted to back Ajax to win combined with over 1.5 goals.
