Jong Ajax desperately need points on Friday, Oct 9 at 8:00 PM in the Eerste Divisie. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Jong Ajax come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). VVV-Venlo, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Jong Ajax and VVV-Venlo have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in VVV-Venlo won 0–1.

Verdict: VVV-Venlo's quality should tell even on the road. Jong Ajax will push, but the visitors have too much class. VVV-Venlo to win.
