Ajax, Recent FormAjax will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their away fixture against Go Ahead Eagles. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 11 of their 23 shots on goal.
John van 't Schip will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 17 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded8 goals during those same matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Steven Bergwijn will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Johan Cruijff Arena having scored 5 goals in Ajax's last 6 home games in the league.
RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Heracles Almelo will have left the RKC Waalwijk squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Heracles Almelo who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Henk Fraser will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Michiel Kramer will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for RKC Waalwijk.
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 2-3.
Ajax will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with RKC. In their recent meetings de Godenzonen have had no problem breaking down RKC's defence, having found the back of the net 18 times in their last 5 games.
Ajax have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 10 times in a row when they have played RKC in the league.
Ajax manager John van 't Schip has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mika Godts (Hip), Jay Gorter (Concussion), Sivert Mannsverk (Leg), Diant Ramaj (Meniscus), Branco van den Boomen (Knee) and Silvano Vos (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
RKC manager Henk Fraser has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
