Ajax v Feyenoord: title chase meets top-four push | OneFootball

Ajax host Feyenoord in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 14 December 2025 at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, with the visitors second on 34 points and the hosts fourth on 26 as the title race and European spots come into focus.

Ajax won the last league meeting here 2-1 in February 2025, and also claimed a 2-0 away win in October 2024. Feyenoord arrive as the division's second placed side.

Godenzonen have won three of their last five in all competitions, including league victories over Groningen and at Fortuna Sittard, plus a 4-2 success at Qarabağ. Feyenoord thrashed PEC Zwolle 6-1 in their most recent league outing after edging past Telstar, though defeats to Go Ahead Eagles and NEC underlined mixed recent form.

Godenzonen are without Steven Berghuis, Wout Weghorst, Kenneth Taylor, Josip Šutalo and James McConnell, while Youri Baas is suspended. Feyenoord list several absentees, including defenders Gernot Trauner, Bart Nieuwkoop, Tsuyoshi Watanabe and Thomas Beelen, and midfielders Hwang In-beom and Jakub Moder.

Feyenoord have scored 41 league goals at 2.7 per game, with 20.86% cross accuracy and seven headed goals, pointing to effective wide supply. Godenzonen average 58% possession and 86.58% pass accuracy, so control in midfield could be their route. Ayase Ueda leads the Eredivisie scoring chart with 18 goals, while Mika Godts has six for the hosts.

A home win would lift Godenzonen to 29 points and could strengthen their grip on European qualification. Victory for Feyenoord would take them to 37 points, consolidating second and keeping their Champions League place on track.
