Most recently, they claimed another 1-0 win against PEC Zwolle. Ajax has managed to maintain a commendable performance away from home, recording 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors. However, their home performance is impeccable, achieving 11 wins, 1 draw, and only 3 losses. In their last outing in the Europa League, they suffered a heavy loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, with a score of 4-1. In their last 10 league home matches, Ajax has recorded 9 victories and 1 draw, amassing a remarkable 28 points from 30 available.
Ajax remains unbeaten at home in their last 12 league matches and has not lost any of their last 10 fixtures. The most common scoreline at half-time in their home matches has been 1-0 (5 out of 12 games). Their defensive solidity has been a primary strength, conceding goals in only 2 of their last 10 games, whilst their attack has consistently scored, netting at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches in this competition. Out of the 25 games played in this competition, they have managed to overturn the score in 3 out of 8 matches where they conceded the first goal.
Ajax will step onto the pitch determined to maintain their lead and extend their advantage over their rivals. At home, they will aim to dictate the tempo and control the action from the outset. Their offensive capabilities are among their strongest assets, yet maintaining defensive balance is essential to avoid any surprises. Concentration and finishing efficiency will be key to securing another three points. While aware of the challenge posed by a skilled opponent, they will be relying on their home advantage to claim victory.

AZ Alkmaar is approaching this match as a crucial opportunity to maintain their push for the top spots.

Even away from home, they will strive for a balanced approach, combining defensive strength with attacking efficiency. While a draw would not be a disappointing outcome, the team remains poised to seize any opportunity to secure a victory.
