Ajax v FC Twente: fourth meets fifth in one-point race for Europe | OneFootball

Ajax face FC Twente in the Eredivisie at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, 4 April 2026, with just one point between fourth and fifth and European qualification in play.

Ajax and FC Twente are separated by one point in the table, and the visitors won 3-2 in October's reverse fixture.

Godenzonen have lost once in five, hitting four past Sparta Rotterdam and drawing at Feyenoord before a 2-2 against Volendam. FC Twente have won four of their last five, including 2-0 against Feyenoord and 4-1 at Go Ahead Eagles, with a single setback against Utrecht.

Godenzonen are without Ko Itakura, Olexandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oliver Edvardsen, Vitezslav Jaros and Youri Regeer through injury, while Rayane Bounida is suspended. FC Twente are missing Mees Hilgers.

With 57% possession and 85.47% pass accuracy this season, Godenzonen may look to control midfield, with Mika Godts on 14 league goals. FC Twente cross well from open play at 24.37% and win plenty in the air, while Daan Rots and Ricky van Wolfswinkel have eight league goals each, so deliveries into the box could test the home defence.

A win would take Godenzonen to 51 points and strengthen their grip on the European spots. Victory for FC Twente would move them to 50 points and above the hosts into fourth, boosting their play-off push.
