Ajax welcome Excelsior, hoping to find some consistency after a hectic start to the campaign which has already seen the dismissal of head coach Johnny Heitinga.

Ajax have only lost two games in the Dutch top flight this term, but have lost all four of their games in the Champions League.

📈 Ajax v Excelsior Form & Stats

Ajax have Fred Grim at the helm for now as they attempt to emerge from this hectic period of the season unscathed. Their league campaign is still salvageable with Ajax only losing two of their 12 games this term, but the five games they’ve drawn have allowed Feyenoord and PSV to open up a substantial gap which will be difficult for Ajax to close.

Ajax have had success at home with four wins from their six home matches, but their recent form is a tad concerning with just one win from their last five matches across all competitions. They didn’t even get the benefit of a new manager bounce with Fred Grim losing his first game in charge against Utrecht, it’s unlikely that he will stay in the role full time with Ajax weighing up a long term replacement.

Excelsior are battling at the opposite end of the Eredivisie and also come into this game with just one win from their last five matches across all competitions, offering Ajax an opportunity to find their feet again. Excelsior have only managed to win one of their six away games this season, and have conceded 16 goals across these matches (2.66 per game).
