Ajax play host to Heracles in this Dutch Eredivisie matchday three fixture on Sunday. The Amsterdammers will aim to return to winning ways against the Paupers after their stalemate last week. Check out our prediction for the match below.
A late drop-off during the run-in saw Ajax surrender what could have been a record-extending 37th Eredivisie title last season. They failed to pick up results in four of their final five matches in the season, allowing rivals PSV Eindhoven to pip them to the Schaal by just a point.
The John Heitinga-led team renew their challenge for the coveted Dutch domestic honor this season. They began their campaign edging out newly promoted side Telstar 2-0 before being held to a 2-2 draw by Go Ahead Eagles last week.
Heracles stumbled to a heavy 4-0 defeat against Utrecht in the opening weekend. This was followed by another excruciating 4-1 home defeat to Nijmegen last week, marking their fourth straight Eredivisie defeat dating back to last season.
Notably, the Almelo-based outfit have grappled with a porous defense since last season. They have conceded between two and four goals in six of their last seven Eredivisie matches and between three to four goals in five of their most recent encounters with Ajax.

Our Ajax vs Heracles Prediction
Heracles' new manager Bas Sibum will be under pressure to overturn his side's poor start to the campaign. The 42-year-old has yet to arrest the team's defensive problems as they have gulped down eight goals in their first two matches.
Meanwhile, Ajax have continued their goal-scoring rampage this season. They have scored four goals in their two matches and boast an impressive scoring record in their five most recent meetings with Heracles. Our Ajax vs Heracles prediction is Ajax score between two and four goals.
