Ajax travel to the Rat Verlegh Stadion in Breda to face NAC Breda in an Eredivisie fixture that carries real weight at both ends of the table.

NAC sit 17th in the standings, deep in relegation trouble, and badly need points. Their recent run of form has done little to inspire confidence, with just two draws from their last five league games and a 6-0 thrashing by Go Ahead Eagles among the low points.

Ajax arrive in fifth place, still pushing for a strong finish to the season. Francesco Farioli's side have been inconsistent, but a 3-0 win at Heracles last weekend showed what they are capable of when things click.

The visitors will be without a cluster of first-team players through injury, and Takehiro Tomiyasu is also unavailable after picking up a suspension. That gives NAC a reason for optimism despite the gulf in league position.

For the home side, this is the kind of game that defines a relegation battle. A win would breathe new life into their survival push, while another defeat could prove damaging with the season entering its final weeks.

Form

NAC Breda have taken two points from their last five Eredivisie matches, recording two draws and three defeats. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw with Fortuna Sittard on April 12, following a goalless stalemate against Sparta Rotterdam the week before. The heaviest blow in that run came in a 6-0 loss at Go Ahead Eagles in March. NAC have scored five goals across those five games and conceded eleven, a record that reflects the pressure they are under.

Ajax have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five Eredivisie games. Their most recent match produced a 3-0 victory away at Heracles on April 11. They also beat Sparta Rotterdam 4-0 in March, though defeats to Twente and FC Groningen show the inconsistency that has defined their campaign. Ajax scored eleven goals in those five matches and conceded seven.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between these two sides took place on September 27, 2025, when Ajax beat NAC Breda 2-1 at home in the Eredivisie. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures in the dataset, Ajax have won four times and NAC Breda have won once, with that sole NAC victory coming in August 2024 when they won 2-1 at the Rat Verlegh Stadion. Ajax have scored fifteen goals across those five meetings compared to five for NAC.

Standings

In the Eredivisie table, NAC Breda sit 17th while Ajax are in fifth place.

Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
