**Ajax are in cruise control, and Willem II are just trying to survive.** The hosts are 4-1 in their last five, while the visitors have one foot in a relegation battle already. 🔴

Ajax battered Fortuna 5-1 on the road and blitzed Telstar 4-0, but stumbled badly at home to PSV (1-3). Willem II's only positive is a pair of draws—everything else is pain, capped by a 3-0 hammering at Excelsior. This is a **massive gulf in form**.

Key storylines:

- **Ajax's attacking depth** with Berghuis, Brandt, and Arokodare should carve through a leaky Willem II defense
- **Willem II's defensive woes** have conceded 3+ goals twice in five games—Tilburg will be under siege at the Johan Cruijff Arena
- **Ajax's home record vs relegated-zone sides** historically brutal; the H2H reads 52 wins for Amsterdam in 65 meetings

Expected lineups:

- **AFC Ajax**: ter Stegen, Henrique, Blind, Johnson, Baas, Mokio, Klaassen, Abdalla, Berghuis, Brandt, Arokodare
- **Willem II Tilburg**: Didillon, Tjoe-A-On, Stam, ter Avest, v. Loon, v. Aalst, Slory, Haen, Boogaard, Vilhena, Martin

Prediction:

**Ajax 4–0 Willem II**

Ajax's firepower at home is simply too much; Willem II lack the cohesion to mount any resistance. Comfortable demolition incoming. 💪
