Ajax beat Sparta 2-1 on 25/10, Groningen 5-2 on 18/10, then drew against NEC 1-1 on 10/10, Excelsior 2-2 on 19/09, and beat Willem II 5-1 on 15/09. AZ lost to Twente 0-2 on 25/10, drew at Cambuur 2-2 on 18/10, lost at Feyenoord 0-2 on 10/10, beat Telstar 1-0 on 20/09, and drew against Willem II 1-1 on 11/09.
Ajax also played in European competition on 22/10, which likely adds a recent workload. No xG, shot volume, pressing indicator, or verifiable measure of chance quality is provided.
The last four documented league meetings are: Ajax-AZ 1-1 on 08/02/2026; Ajax-AZ 0-2 on 18/10/2025; AZ-Ajax 2-2 on 16/03/2025; Ajax-AZ 1-2 on 08/12/2024. AZ therefore won the last two meetings played in Amsterdam and remains unbeaten in these four matches.
AZ records 113 official meetings, with 61 Ajax wins, 27 AZ wins, and 25 draws. These precedents have limited relevance because the squads, coaches, availability, and form have changed, with no stable tactical mechanism identified.
No official club statement, press conference report, or published lineup confirms the absences or suspensions. Gaaei, Caio Henrique, Dolberg, Edvardsen, Adingra and Berghuis are listed as absent or doubtful for Ajax, while Hornkamp, Zoet, Smit, Resink and Goes are listed as such for AZ, but these statuses are not confirmed by the clubs.
Starters and effective lineups have not yet been announced.
Ajax scenario: its scoring streak, 29 goals scored and 13 conceded after ten matchdays, as well as its recent wins at Sparta and Groningen, support the idea of an attacking threat capable of taking the initiative. AZ scenario: its last four league encounters unbeaten, including two wins in Amsterdam, show that it can contain or punish Ajax in this matchup.
The tactical reading remains limited: no verifiable data makes it possible to identify a confirmed advantage in transitions, box defending or set pieces. The standings implications are probably direct, with Ajax announced in second place with 21 points and AZ fifth with 20 points after ten matchdays, according to a secondary source.
Ajax host AZ in the Eredivisie, on matchday 11, on Saturday 31 October 2026 at 20:00 UTC, at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam. The starting goalkeeper and starting eleven have not been confirmed.
The published probable lineup is based on the most recent starting elevens rather than an official announcement.
