There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Ajax leading ADO Den Haag by 31 points.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting ADO Den Haag have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-8-17 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
Ajax form and stats
This stadium, Johan Cruijff Arena, has been a fortress for Ajax in the Eredivisie so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-0-1.
Ajax's previous game was a Eredivisie match also played at home, ending 6-1 versus ADO Den Haag (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a KNVB Beker win away at Telstar.
As mentioned above, Ajax "killed" ADO Den Haag in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ajax are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Johan Cruijff Arena with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 25 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Ajax has won 22 times, drawn 2 and lost 1. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Ajax has won by at least two goals 20 times when in this position.
Ajax always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Johan Cruijff Arena with 34 goals in 9 league games. From these home matches, Ajax have conceded only 5 goals.
ADO Den Haag form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for ADO Den Haag so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-7 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Heesen, the ADO Den Haag manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
ADO Den Haag play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-6 to Ajax (placed 1st). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting FC Groningen.
ADO Den Haag lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one. ADO Den Haag goalkeeper Luuk Koopmans had a great day against Ajax, but despite making 7 saves the loss could not be avoided.
ADO Den Haag are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 15 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats. Of the defeats, 8 games were lost by at least two goals margin.
ADO Den Haag find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 10 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on ADO Den Haag's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 9 travels.
