FC Volendam, Recent FormThe FC Volendam players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sparta Rotterdam recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Sparta Rotterdam who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Regillio Simons 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 4 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 29 of their 31 games played.
They've had a terrible run of form at Kras Stadion recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. They've shown terrible form at Kras Stadion this season, losing 10 of their 15 home league games.
Goalscorer Robert Mühren will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for FC Volendam.
Ajax, Recent FormAjax manager John van 't Schip will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Excelsior. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Excelsior's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, van 't Schip will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 10 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 14 of their 15 games this season.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
On an individual basis, Chuba Akpom will be looking to cause FC Volendam some problems having scored 4 goals in Ajax's last 6 away games in the league.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Ajax produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
The Volendam defence has struggled against de Godenzonen in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. We've seen plenty of goals from Ajax when they've visited Het Andere Oranje in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 8 goals, which is an average of 2.67 per game.
When playing at home, Volendam have lost the last 3 times they've faced Ajax in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
Volendam manager Regillio Simons has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joey Antonioli (Unknown), Diego Gustavo (Unknown), Xavier Mbuyamba (Unknown) and Vivaldo Semedo (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
John van 't Schip has a number of injury concerns in his Ajax squad to contend with: Gastón Ávila (Knee), Steven Berghuis (Back), Brian Brobbey (Hamstring) and Diant Ramaj (Elbow)
