Ajax, Recent FormAjax will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Feyenoord, which ran out a 1-1 draw.
When it comes to attacking power Alfred Schreuder will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep de Godenzonen away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
Having drawn their last 5 and failing to win any of their last 6 league games, de Godenzonen will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
On an individual basis, Steven Berghuis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Ajax's last 6 league games.
FC Volendam, Recent FormThe FC Volendam players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Excelsior recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Manager Wim Jonk will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 17 league games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Volendam camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 9 away games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for FC Volendam, Henk Veerman will be looking to add more goals against Ajax in this match.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Ajax running out winners in a match that ended 2-4.
Goals should be on the cards for Ajax in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Het Andere Oranje in their last 5 meetings together. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, de Godenzonen know how to do it against Volendam, having clocked up 15 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Ajax will be looking to continue their winning streak against Volendam, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jay Gorter (Illness), Florian Grillitsch (Unknown) and Ahmetcan Kaplan (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Volendam manager Wim Jonk ahead of this clash, with Francesco Antonucci (Unknown) missing out, which gives Jonk a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
