Ajax host AZ Alkmaar with one point separating them in Eredivisie

Ajax host AZ Alkmaar in Amsterdam on 1 November in the Eredivisie.

Ajax are second with 21 points, while AZ are fifth with 20, after both teams played 10 league matches.

Just one point separates the sides, so the result could change their positions in the crowded upper part of the table.

Ajax have won their last three matches and have scored more league goals this season than AZ.

But AZ have won three of the last five meetings, with the other two ending in draws.

A win would help Ajax keep pressing league leaders Feyenoord, while AZ could move above Ajax if they win and other results support them.

The match is scheduled for 21:00 local time at Johan Cruijff ArenA.
