Eredivisie: Two teams in reasonable form get together for this fixture. Ajax have a slight edge with their 1st spot in the league table?
- RKC Waalwijk have the most points from losing position (10) in Eredivisie
- Ajax have the the best goal difference (+25) in Eredivisie
9-1-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Ajax when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 21-4 (scored/conceded).
There have been little to rest for the host team, as they performed in a KNVB Beker match only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at De Treffers.
RKC Waalwijk form and stats
When playing at home in the Eredivisie, RKC Waalwijk have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.
The followers hope that Waalwijk will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the KNVB Beker fixture against De Treffers.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Fortuna Sittard that finished 0-0.The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Ajax to win. Let's see if RKC Waalwijk are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 8 games found revealing 0 RKC Waalwijk wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats.
RKC Waalwijk are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (14 goals in 5 games). Waalwijk have conceded 8 from these games.
Ajax form and stats
4-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Ajax, who have the the best goal difference (+25) in Eredivisie, in their Eredivisie matches away.
Ajax go into this game after a win, the home game against Excelsior that ended 7-1. As you can tell from the results above, Ajax was very dominant against Excelsior, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 7-1 (!) with Bergwijn, Brobbey (2), Berghuis, Tadić, Kudus and Sánchez providing the goals. The attacker Tadić got a match rating of 9.5 in that game. Tadić scored one goal, served one assist, hit nine key passes and had 40 successful passes (of 48 total).
A loss, in the Champions League away at Napoli, before that.
A new game in only four days for Ajax, the Champions League home match versus Liverpool. Busy days.
