Ajax chase top spot in key Eredivisie visit to FC Twente

Ajax have the chance to take over at the top of the Eredivisie when they travel to face FC Twente on Sunday. The match in Enschede is scheduled to kick off at 14:30, with both clubs competing near the upper end of the table.

There is little between the sides heading into the fixture. Ajax have collected only one point more than Twente across their opening 11 league matches, leaving the hosts with an opportunity to climb above the Amsterdam club. Ajax, meanwhile, can use the meeting to strengthen their position in the title race and, according to VI’s match preview, pursue first place.

That narrow gap gives the contest clear significance for both teams. Victory for Twente would reverse their current order with Ajax, while a positive result for the visitors would preserve their advantage over one of the teams around them. With the first 11 rounds having produced such a tight margin, Sunday’s meeting offers both clubs a direct chance to improve their position against a nearby rival.

The game forms part of Sunday’s Eredivisie programme, which also includes matches involving PSV and Feyenoord. VI is providing live coverage of Twente against Ajax.
