Ajax hopes to continue their stay at the top of the Eredivisie this week when Cambuur welcomes them at the Cambuur-Stadion with kickoff at 11 pm.
Ajax, the reigning champions of the competition, are also on a run to retain the title. They are at the top of the table, having won most of their matches, and have conceded the fewest number of goals. They have lost just three times during the entire campaign.
Meanwhile, Cambuur have lost five of their last seven league fixtures, and it could be said that they are one of the worst teams in the whole of the Dutch top flight. They also have a poor home record against this rival over the past few seasons.
Before this last game, Cambuur had lost five of their last seven and were winless in 10 of their previous 12 games. In three of their past six matchups, they had also conceded three or more goals.
Ajax had won 12 of their previous 14 games, and they had scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 14 matches. Moreover, they have scored 74 goals so far this season, more than any other team in the league, while 15 of the 18 teams have failed to score 50 or more.
However, Cambuur has recorded only one win since the second week of December.
