Ajax form and stats

Ajax have only played one Eredivisie game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 17 matches.

The home team returns to Johan Cruijff Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with FC Twente (placed 12th) on their last time out; the Eredivisie game ended 1-1. Defender Noussair Mazraoui got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.6/10. Mazraoui hit two key passes and won 9 of 14 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting NEC in a game that was won 5-0.

At Johan Cruijff Arena, Ajax has the goal stats of 5-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Vitesse form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Eredivisie, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 7 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from 17 matches.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eredivisie home defeat versus Willem II with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Midfield player Maximilian Wittek was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.35/10. Wittek hit one key pass.

Preceding that game was the away victory against PEC Zwolle with the score of 1-0.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Vitesse's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won one of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Vitesse managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

It's early days yet, but Vitesse has scored 1 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the prior ten meetings): Ajax won seven games, one match ended with a tie and Vitesse got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: nine / one
