A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Netherlands: Eredivisie
Venue: Johan Cruijff Arena
Sunday 10th May 2026, 1545hrs (GMT)
Ajax gained a solid point in Monday’s clash with the Dutch top flight league leaders PSV as the hosts drew 2-2 and Oscar Garcia’s side will hold home advantage once again at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday afternoon when they play host to 8th placed Utrecht.
Prior to holding the runaway Eredivisie leaders to a draw, Ajax had previously collected back-to-back wins against the likes of NAC Breda and Heracles in 2-0 and 3-0 victories respectively, so Sunday’s hosts will no doubt be confident they can return to winning ways on the weekend.
The wider picture shows Ajax have slipped to just two defeats in their previous 19 league matches in the domestic top flight which includes picking up nine wins in the process, five of which have been achieved at the Johan Cruijff Arena where they possess a solid looking home record of 9-4-3 31/15 to date.
Utrecht picked up a fourth home win on the trot in the Eredivisie on Monday as Ron Jans’ side registered a 2-0 home win against NAC Breda which followed previous wins on home soil at their Stadion Galgenwaard over the likes of Telstar, Go Ahead and AZ.
However, Utrecht will now be hitting the road for this upcoming encounter away at Ajax on Sunday and the visitors have suffered recent back-to-back defeats on their travels at the hands of Excelsior in a comprehensive 5-0 rout along with a high-scoring 4-3 loss at PSV.
In addition, Utrecht’s results away from home have been generally inconsistent as their overall away record of 4-5-7 22/28 indicates, and this could once again hold back the visitors.
The Betting Verdict
Ajax have won two of the last three meetings at home against Utrecht.
The Pick :
Ajax 2-1 Utrecht
