Excelsior, Recent FormExcelsior have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 4-3 away win against NEC Nijmegen in their previous league match.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Excelsior recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Ajax, Recent FormIn their last match Ajax enforced their superiority over Heracles Almelo with a 4-1 home win.
It seems pretty certain that Maurice Steijn will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Goalscorer Steven Bergwijn will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Ajax.
The last time these two teams met Ajax enforced their superiority over Excelsior with a comfortable 1-4 win.
de Godenzonen will be confident of finding the net in this one against Excelsior, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 22 encounters between the two sides. In their recent meetings Ajax have had no problem breaking down Roodzwarten's defence, having found the back of the net 26 times in their last 5 games.
Ajax will be looking to continue their winning streak against Excelsior having won in their last 6 meetings in the league.
With no real injury worries, Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Ajax manager Maurice Steijn ahead of this clash, with Diant Ramaj (Meniscus) missing out, which gives Steijn a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
