PSV and Ajax have both had a reasonable start to the new season, with the Eindhoven-based team impressing in their wins over FC Utrecht (1-6) and FC Groningen (5-1). Ajax, who played one match less, also had some positive results, including victories over Telstar (0-4) and PEC Zwolle (0-2), but also suffered a draw against sc Heerenveen (2-2) at home.

It has been a while since PSV last won at Ajax's home ground, with their last victory dating back to 6 November 2022. In that match, PSV won 1-2 with goals from Luuk de Jong and Érick Gutiérrez, while Lorenzo Lucca scored for Ajax. Since then, the two teams have played two draws in Amsterdam, with Ajax eventually winning 3-2 in the Johan Cruijff ArenA in the 2024/2025 season.

The Johan Cruijff ArenA will be the stage for the highly anticipated match between Ajax and PSV, and fans are eagerly waiting to see which team will come out on top.
