Ajax will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Sparta Rotterdam.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 18 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss John van 't Schip will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 7 league games.
When it comes to home matches at Johan Cruijff Arena, Steven Bergwijn will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Ajax in their last 6 home games.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the PEC Zwolle players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 home defeat at the hands of NEC Nijmegen.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for PEC Zwolle, Ferdy Druijf will be looking to add more goals against Ajax in this match.
Ajax vs. PEC Zwolle Head to head
The last time these two teams met Ajax enforced their superiority over PEC Zwolle with a comfortable 3-0 win.
Ajax will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Blauwvingers. The Blauwvingers defence has struggled against Ajax in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 14 games. PEC Zwolle have struggled to break down the de Godenzonen defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. In their last 3 away league games against de Godenzonen, PEC Zwolle have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
PEC Zwolle will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 13 times they've faced Ajax in the league and not managed a win from any of their last 23 meetings.
Ajax manager John van 't Schip has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mika Godts (Hip), Jay Gorter (Unknown), Sivert Mannsverk (Leg), Remko Pasveer (Knee), Diant Ramaj (Meniscus), Amourricho van Axel Dongen (Unknown) and Branco van den Boomen (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
PEC Zwolle Injury News
There is only really one injury concern for the PEC Zwolle manager Johnny Jansen ahead of this clash, with Samir Lagsir (Knee) missing out, which gives Jansen a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
