FC Twente will be out to keep their 100% start to the Dutch Eredivisie intact when they host Ajax on Sunday. Twente are currently third in the standings, four points above Ajax in 11th. FC Twente have won their opening three rounds of the new league season. This has them tied at the top on nine points with two other teams. Joseph Oosting's men defeated Volendam 2-0 away from home in their last match which was before the September international break. It was the perfect response to their Europa Conference League elimination by Fenerbahce. The Reds lost both legs against the Turkish giants to be eliminated from Europe completely. Twente have been on a roll in the league since the final stages of last season and are on a 12-match unbeaten run. They have won 10 of those matches with one being a 3-1 success at home against Ajax back in May.

Ajax have found it hard to exert the dominance that is synonymous with them in the early stages of the campaign. Maurice Steijn's men have drawn their last two league matches and have been unable to replicate their opening-round win over Heracles. Ajax won 4-1 to start the season but the goals have dried up with each passing round. That win was followed up by a 2-2 draw with Excelsior and last time out, they drew 0-0 away to Fortuna Sittard. Ajax have played their last two league matches away from home with Sunday's fixture being the third. de Godenzonen's struggles have carried on from last season. They have managed just six victories in their last 18 matches and have lost eight times.
