Excelsior, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by FC Utrecht will have left the Excelsior squad feeling a little deflated.
Marinus Dijkhuizen will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 15 of their 18 league matches this season.
They have had a good run of form at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Ajax, Recent FormAjax manager Alfred Schreuder will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against FC Volendam.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. Whilst their long 21 game streak of scoring away from home continues, there's always a chance of a good away result. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Unbeaten in 6 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 6 games, the de Godenzonen fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win again.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Brian Brobbey has given the travelling Ajax support something to shout about on the road.
Excelsior will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Ajax, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 7-1 defeat.
The Excelsior defence has struggled against de Godenzonen in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 21 games. In their recent meetings Ajax have had no problem breaking down Roodzwarten's defence, having found the back of the net 25 times in their last 5 games.
Ajax will be looking to continue their winning streak against Excelsior, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 16 meetings.
Dušan Tadić has scored in each of Ajax's last 0 league games against Excelsior.
Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Yassin Ayoub (Leg), Jacky Donkor (Knee) and Kik Pierie (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Alfred Schreuder has a number of injury concerns in his Ajax squad to contend with: Jay Gorter (Illness), Florian Grillitsch (Unknown) and Ahmetcan Kaplan (Knee)
