Match preview: Ajax vs NEC
Ajax and NEC will clash at the Amsterdam Arena in a fixture for the 32nd round of the Eredivisie. The last meeting between these teams saw Ajax secure a victory away (1-2) on 1 February 2024. The historical record at this stadium favours the home side, with Ajax having won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3 encounters here. However, their last match at this venue on 18 February 2024 ended in a 2-2 draw. Goals were scored by Brian Brobbey (7′) and Carlos Forbs (79′) for Ajax, while Rober González (90′) and Jorl Hato (61′ own goal) scored for NEC. The home advantage is significant, as NEC has shown marked differences in performance at home and away.
Team analysis: Ajax
After 23 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, Ajax currently sits at the top of the table, amassing 74 points. In their last match, they drew 1-1 at home against Sparta Rotterdam, following a heavy defeat to FC Utrecht (0-4) in the previous match. Ajax exhibits solid performance both at home and on the road, recording 9 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses away, in contrast to 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses at home.
Ajax has gone 15 matches without a home loss in this competition. Their attacking unit has been consistently effective, scoring in 9 of their last 10 matches. In 31 games this season, Ajax has conceded the first goal 13 times but managed to come back to win 5 of those encounters. Notably, 4 out of their 11 goals conceded at home were between the 76’ and 90’ minutes.
Despite a couple of recent setbacks, Ajax remains at the forefront of Dutch football and is in a position to secure the title with their own efforts. A victory in this encounter, coupled with a potential slip-up from PSV, could mathematically secure the championship, enhancing the team’s motivation. Playing at home, Ajax tends to assert dominance early on, controlling possession and applying pressure on the opposition. Their quality on both a technical and tactical level places them as clear favourites, although focus will be crucial to avoid any surprises. Fans expect a convincing display from their team.
Team analysis: NEC
The visiting side currently finds itself in 13th place with 33 points, having secured 9 wins, 7 draws, and 15 losses. They suffered a loss to SC Heerenveen (0-1) in their penultimate match, followed by a 1-1 home draw with Willem II in their last outing. NEC shows a reliance on home support, with a record of just 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses away, scoring a mere 9 goals and conceding 22 in those matches. At home, they have performed better, with 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, having found the net 33 times while conceding 24.
In the league, NEC has gained only 10 points from the last 30 available, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses across their last 10 away fixtures. In their matches this season, the most common halftime scoreline has been 0-0, appearing in 6 of their 16 games. Their defence has not been their strong suit, conceding goals in 8 of the last 10 league encounters. Trends indicate that their away matches tend to see fewer goals, with 10 of the last 15 games featuring less than 3 goals. In 31 fixtures, they have conceded the first goal 18 times without managing to recover to win in any of those matches.
NEC’s campaign has been modest, having secured their top-flight status, which allows for less pressure in this final phase of the season. Nonetheless, they face a challenging task against the league leaders away from home. Acknowledging the difficulty of the match, NEC is likely to adopt a more defensive approach, aiming to nullify Ajax’s strengths and perhaps finding opportunities on the counter. Any points gained in this match would be regarded as a significant success, and tactical discipline will be essential to ensure competitive balance on the pitch.
