Ajax will welcome Twente to the Johan Cruyff Arena (Amsterdam Arena) in their final Eredivisie match of the season on Sunday. This is a must-win match for the hosts, as even a draw here will allow PSV to lift their second consecutive league title. The Tukkers can finish fifth in the league table with a win.
de Godenzonen have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last four league games. After a shock 3-0 home loss to NEC last week, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Groningen in the midweek clash. Defender Anton Gaaei broke the deadlock in the 27th minute, and Wout Weghorst restored their lead in the 68th minute. Late drama ensued as Thijmen Blokzijl scored a stoppage-time equalizer.
Trending
The visitors had enjoyed a winning start to May and lost 3-2 at home to AZ Alkmaar last week. Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Michel Vlap were on the scoresheet in the first half, and Denso Kasius scored the match-winner for AZ in the second half.

Ajax vs Twente Prediction
de Godenzonen are winless in their last four league games and have won just one of their last five home games in all competitions. Notably, they have lost just one of their last 11 home meetings against the visitors, recording eight wins, and will look to bounce back here.
Anton Gaaei was booked against Groningen and will serve a suspension here. Amourricho van Axel Dongen, Branco van den Boomen, Youri Baas, and Oliver Edvardsen are sidelined with injuries.
The Tukkers scored two goals apiece for the third consecutive match against AZ, but they also conceded three goals for the second time in four games. Interestingly, they have won two of their last four meetings against the host, scoring nine goals in these games.
Sam Lammers, Lars Unnerstall, and Naci Ünüvar are not options for this final match of the season.
Ajax have won just one of their last four meetings against the visitors, and also head into the match in poor form. Nonetheless, they have a good recent home record in this fixture and should be able to play out a draw.
