Ajax
DWWWLD
Ajax head into this fixture after a 1-1 Eredivisie drawn match versus Sparta Rotterdam.
In that game, Ajax had 66% possession and 26 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. The only player to score for Ajax was Youri Regeer (97'). For their opponents, Sparta Rotterdam got 13 shots at goal with 5 on target. Mohamed Nassoh (95') scored for Sparta Rotterdam.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Ajax have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Ajax have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals during that time. Having said that, we must now wait to see whether that trend shall persist in this game.
Their past results show that Ajax:
- have not lost a league tie with NEC in their last 28 games. It's quite some record.
- are undefeated in their previous 29 league matches at home. What a fantastic run.
NEC
WDLWLD ⚖
Previously, NEC drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie match with Willem II.
The stats tell the story, and NEC have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals in total. At the back, NEC have seen their frailties exposed.
Heading into this fixture, NEC are without an away win for the past 2 league games.
👥 Head to head
A review of past results between these clubs stretching back to 23/04/2022 reveals that these encounters have ended in disappointment for NEC. They have not been able to come away with any wins whatsoever while Ajax have managed to find a way, finishing as winners in 67 per cent of those match-ups.
A total of 14 goals were produced between them in these games, with 9 of them for de Godenzonen and 5 created by NEC. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.
The last league contest featuring these sides was Eredivisie match day 14 on 01/12/2024 when it ended NEC 1-2 Ajax.
On that day, NEC managed 52% possession and 21 shots on goal with 8 on target. The scorer was Sontje Hansen (13').
Ajax had 8 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Wout Weghorst (15', 48') was the scorer.
The referee was Joey Kooij.
🗞️ Team News: Ajax
In our view, de Godenzonen could use the 4-3-3 system for the game with Matheus, Anton Gaaei, Josip Sutalo, Daniele Rugani, Jorrel Hato, Steven Berghuis, Davy Klaassen, Kenneth Taylor, Bertrand Traore, Brian Brobbey and Oliver Edvardsen.
🗞️ Team News: NEC
NEC boss Rogier Meijer has some current player fitness concerns. Dirk Proper (Head injury) and Başar Önal (unknown injury) can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that NEC seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Robin Roefs, Brayann Pereira, Ivan Marquez, Philippe Sandler, Calvin Verdonk, Kodai Sano, Vito van Crooij, Sontje Hansen, Sami Ouaissa, Thomas Ouwejan and Bryan Linssen.
💡 Prediction
In this game, NEC will likely create enough chances to put a goal past this Ajax outfit, but it might not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re going for a narrow 2-1 victory for Ajax at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
