There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Ajax leading Fortuna Sittard by 13 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.
Ajax form and stats
As mentioned below, Ajax are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Eredivisie games.
Ajax shared the glory with Atalanta in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting VVV-Venlo and winning 13-0.
Opportunity lost for Ajax in the Atalanta match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Ajax have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 20 games found in the database showing 18 Ajax wins, one draw and one defeat.
The manager E. ten Hag will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Midtjylland in only three days.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Ajax is on fire here. A stunning 10 from 3 league matches. From these home matches, Ajax have conceded only 2 goals.
Fortuna Sittard form and stats
The Eredivisie season is young and Fortuna Sittard have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Fortuna play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Roda JC Kerkrade. A loss against FC Groningen was the result prior to that, in a Eredivisie home game.
Fortuna are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 13 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were three wins, one draw and nine defeats. Of the defeats, seven games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fortuna as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Fortuna have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Ajax, zero draws and zero wins for Fortuna Sittard. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
