SC Heerenveen, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 Eredivisie victory versus FC Zwolle.

In that match, SC Heerenveen managed 52% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, FC Zwolle had 17 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Bram van Polen (63' Own goal) scored for FC Zwolle.

SC Heerenveen haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

They’ve totted up the amount of 7 during that period while also conceding a total of 10. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

Coming into this clash, SC Heerenveen have not won against Ajax in their previous 24 matches in the league. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.

Demonstrating their predisposition for action-packed matches, the back of the net has been hit 26 times in the previous six games in which Ajax have played, making it an average of 4.33 goals per meeting. Their opponents have managed 2 of this grand total.

Pre-game facts show that Ajax:

• remain undefeated by SC Heerenveen when they've played them away from home in the last 12 league matches. An fantastic away run.
• are undefeated in their previous 18 away league matches. Not many clubs can boast an away record as good as that.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Ajax have the ability to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, SC Heerenveen won’t find it easy to break down their defence- but, we do see them hitting back at some stage, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 1-3 victory for Ajax by the conclusion of the game.
