Jong Ajax

DDLDDL ⚠

Jong Ajax will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 3-0 Eerste Divisie defeat last time out to De Graafschap.

Charlison Benschop (26', 83') and Devin Haen (92') scored for De Graafschap.

Fixtures with Jong Ajax have usually been entertaining ones of late with plenty of scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past six clashes, the sum of 22 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 9 of them being chalked up by Jong Ajax. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

Their prior results show that Jong Ajax:

• have not won against Roda JC Kerkrade in their last 2 league matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 league games. Things will have to change soon.
