Utrecht clash with Ajax for the fourth round of the Dutch Eredivisie, with the two teams having entirely contrasting form in the campaign so far. Utrecht started the league with two draws and lost their latest game, 3-2 away to Emmen. It was also their seventh in the last eight competitive games that they manage to concede, with defence being a prevalent issue for the hosts. While facing Ajax is always daunting no matter whether it’s home or away, Utrecht have been strong recently at their Stadion Galgenwaard, losing just once in their last eight games there. The downside is their poor recent tradition against the Dutch Giants, whom they have only beaten once in their last six home meetings.

 Ajax continued their positive start to the Eredivisie season by claiming a 1-0 away victory against Sparta Rotterdam. A goal by Steven Bergwin in the latter stages of the first half was enough for the visitors, who have now gone unbeaten in their last thirteen league games. The clean sheet was another positive for Ajax, given that it was just their second in the last seven competitive games. The offensive department of the away side is doing ever-presently well, and with ten goals scored in their last three games and a twenty-game scoring streak, they are always worth a goal, home or away.
