Jong Ajax have been in decent form lately, winning three of their last five matches, though they did suffer one heavy defeat along the way. Jong AZ have been more up and down, with a couple of losses, a couple of draws, and one win, and their last match was a wild eight-goal draw, so they can be shaky at the back but also dangerous going forward.

This looks like a close match between two similar young sides. Their past meetings have often produced plenty of goals, including several games with four or more, so it should be an open contest rather than a tight defensive battle. Given Jong Ajax's slightly better recent run and their record in this fixture, the home side looks likely to come out on top, though a draw is also very possible.
