Ajax were three minutes away from their second straight win in Eredivisie in their last game but home team Twente leveled to see the clash end 1-1. The champions will be hoping for a better show when they welcome Vitesse in Amsterdam on Match Day 3. At the moment, Ajax, who have four points, are in fourth place with four points while Vitesse are 10th with three points. Ajax have been shaky at these early stages of the season; they lost 4-0 to PSV in the Super Cup before beating NEC 5-0 then drawing with Twente. They are already two points off the early pace setters but a run of 25 league matches unbeaten suggests they have what it takes to catch up. They’ve led at half time and full time in three of their last five league matches and at home they have four straight wins, with three clean sheets. They’ve scored two or more goals in the four home matches, with all of them producing over 2.5 goals.

Vitesse are coming from the Europa League, where they beat Belgian side Anderlecht 2-1 to secure a place at the group stage of the competition. They will hope to carry that to this game but just one clean sheet in the last five matches signals a struggling defence, especially after conceding three goals in two of the last three matches. In their last league game, Vitesse lost 3-0 to Willem II, making it a fourth game in five that they’ve conceded three goals. They have just one win in the last five league matches and trailed at half time and full time in three of the five games.
