Ajax form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (6) in Eredivisie Women, are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Eredivisie Women. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus FC Twente. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Ajax, as they have won on their previous two travels.

The Ajax goalkeeper Lize Kop is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 462 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Ajax go into this game after a win, the home game against ADO Den Haag that ended 1-0. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus PEC Zwolle.

The end of the last match, against ADO Den Haag, was very satisfying as M. van den Bighelaar scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Ajax has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 5 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
