Ajax will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against FC Twente. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against FC Twente's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Supremo John van 't Schip will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 14 of their 15 played at Johan Cruijff Arena this season.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.
Brian Brobbey will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Johan Cruijff Arena, having notched up 6 goals for Ajax in their last 6 league matches at home.

When Excelsior last played in the league they faced FC Volendam and produced an outstanding 4-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 35 attempts on goal with 15 on target, in comparison to FC Volendam, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 25 of their 30 games overall.
Excelsior will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 8 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 12 games.
Troy Parrott will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Ajax in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Excelsior.
Ajax vs. Excelsior Head to head
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Ajax in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Roodzwarten in their last 23 meetings together. We have seen plenty of goals from de Godenzonen when they play at home against Excelsior. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 16 goals, which is an average of 5.33 goals per game.
It's been a long time since Excelsior has enjoyed a trip to Johan Cruijff Arena in the league, with Ajax having won each of their last 9 meetings there and not lost to the visitors in 11 games.
Ajax manager John van 't Schip has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gastón Ávila (Knee), Steven Berghuis (Back), Jordan Henderson (Strain) and Diant Ramaj (Elbow) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Excelsior Injury News
Marinus Dijkhuizen has a number of injury concerns in his Excelsior squad to contend with: Couhaib Driouech (Hamstring), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Kik Pierie (Foot), Serano Seymor (Unknown) and Ian Smeulers (Unknown)
