Dutch giants Ajax are going through tough times, and will be hoping for some reprieve when they travel to Leeuwarden to take on Cambuur. Going into this game, Ajax are fourth in the league standings, with 37 points, while Cambuur are 17th on 12 points. Hosts Cambuur are five points below the safe zone and are staring at a possible relegation scrap, though it is still early to tell. They come into this game with just one win in 10 across all competitions. Eight losses in 10 league matches isn’t the best run to warm up for a game against Ajax and they will want to work on both their defence and attack here. Cambuur have failed to score in seven of their last 10 matches. The 2-1 home loss to Fortuna Sittard in their last game marked the fifth time in 10 league games that they conceded two or more goals.

Ajax have had a tough season and they find themselves in unfamiliar territory, being out of the Champions League places. Despite being the best scoring team in the league, Ajax’s struggles have been clear. They’ve conceded 21 times in 19 matches and therein lies their major problem, as it is for this that they have the highest number of draws in the top five. Coming into this game, Ajax have six draws in the last seven matches. The 4-1 win over Excelsior was Johnny Heitinga’s first match in charge and it came with the desired result. That was their first win in eight league matches and though they failed to keep a clean sheet, the attack seemed to work well again. This win marked the first time in five matches that they managed more than a goal in the league. They’ve however failed to score in just one of their last 41 league matches.
