Ajax, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by AZ will have left the Ajax squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 57% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games; however, playing at home this season, they have scored in 10 of their 11 games.
There will be mixed feelings from de Godenzonen, although undefeated in their last 8 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
When home matches come round at Johan Cruijff Arena, Brian Brobbey will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 7 goals in Ajax's last 6 home league matches.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormFC Utrecht will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Heracles Almelo. They came away from that fixture with a 54% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Heracles Almelo, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
Ron Jans will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 4 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 15 games.
Taylor Booth will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for FC Utrecht.
