Ajax will be looking to close the gap between them and the Eredivisie chasing pack when they welcome NEC Nijmegen this weekend. They enter this round eight fixture placed fifth, six points ahead of their 11th placed visitors. As clean sheets have become rare in these teams’ matches, we’ll make a stop in the goals market in our prediction.
Ajax are having a fair season so far and find themselves five points off the pace. They have won four times and with only one loss, have racked up 14 points. Michel's men, who are also active in the Conference League, are unbeaten in three games.
They went into the international break after a battling 2-2 draw with Excelsior at home. Ajax are one of three teams to have hit the 20-goal mark.
NEC haven't lost any of the last three meetings with Ajax and will be keen for this run to continue. The visitors, whose only win in this streak came away from home, have been blowing hot and cold this year.
Dick Schreuder's men have won twice and lost three of their seven fixtures. They are winless in five games and drew 1-1 at home with Go Ahead Eagles right before the international break. NEC, who are on eight points, have scored 12 goals while letting in 13.
