FC Volendam vs Ajax Preview

• Competition: Eredivisie
• Date: Saturday, 30 August 2025
• Kick-off Time: 2:30 pm GMT
• Venue: Kras Stadion

Matchday four of the 2025/26 Eredivisie season will include FC Volendam welcoming Ajax at the Kras Stadion on Saturday afternoon. The two teams are just four points apart in the points table. FC Volendam is in ninth place with just three points on the board. Ajax, on the other hand, occupies the third spot currently with a total of seven points. The FC Volendam vs Ajax fixture should be an easy outing for the latter, considering the individual and collective quality in its ranks.

FC Volendam would have hoped for a better return from its recent matches. In the last six games, the club has managed just a single victory to go with five draws. During this period, Volendam has scored 14 goals and conceded eight. Rick Kruys' men have accumulated three draws in the opening three outings of the league. FC Volendam was a part of the second division last season, and hence will be satisfied with the first three matches. Volendam ranks eighth in the league when it comes to goals scored per match (1.7).

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest encounters of Ajax. The four-time European champions have collected three victories, two draws, and a defeat in the last six matches. Ajax came agonizingly close to the league championship last season, missing out by just a single point. The most successful Dutch club of all time will be hungry to leave that disappointment behind and capture the glory this time around. Johnny Heitinga will be content with two wins and a draw from the opening three matchdays. Wout Weghorst is the top scorer for Ajax with three goals to his name.

Key Players to Watch in FC Volendam vs Ajax

Steven Berghuis (Ajax)

Ajax's main creative threat on Saturday will come through Steven Berghuis. The 33-year-old has been a part of Ajax's setup since the 2021/22 season and has established himself as a regular starter. He did not have the best of seasons last year, and hence will be eager to reverse his fortunes. Berghuis has proven to be a game-changer when it comes to crucial situations for Ajax. The former Feyenoord man has made an explosive start to the season with a goal and two assists to his name already.

Wout Weghorst (Ajax)

While the likes of Steven Berghuis create the chances for Ajax, it will be up to Wout Weghorst to finish those and ensure victory for the visitors. Weghorst has earned several plaudits due to his agility, considering his tall stature. The former Manchester United man is a menace from crosses and will look to create chaos in the Volendam box on Saturday.. He has three goals already this term and has won more than 60% of his duels, which outlines his physical strength.
