SC Cambuur form and stats

With 1 Eredivisie win, 0 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, SC Cambuur are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Cambuurstadion, with the home team losing six in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the PSV game.

The Cambuur crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Fortuna Sittard here at Cambuurstadion. Midfield player Hoedemakers got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Hoedemakers scored one goal.

In the game before, an away victory match versus FC Groningen with a 1-0 scoreline.

It should be added that a look at the 12 most recent league matches shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

SC Cambuur has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: {4 goals} from 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Ajax form and stats

Ajax's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Ajax collect 21 points from their 10 away matches in the Eredivisie. 6 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Two travels in a row for Ajax, whose coach Heitinga could celebrate last time after the win against Excelsior. Eureka; their first victory in the league after seven rounds not winning. The attacker Tadić got a match rating of 8.44 in that game. Tadić scored one goal, served one assist and hit four key passes.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against FC Volendam.

Sports betting fact: Both sides have scored at least once in 12 of this club's latest 13 league fixtures.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ajax manager Heitinga as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against FC Twente.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Ajax are regular goalscorers on their travels. 13 goals have been conceded by Ajax in these games.
