Prediction

  • Ajax are in fifth place with 48 points through 30 matches. The hosts won their last Eredivisie match 2-1 at home against Twente, extending their unbeaten run at home to 12 games (seven wins and five draws).
  • Excelsior, meanwhile, triumphed 4-0 over Volendam at home, breaking an 11-match winless streak. This placed them in 15th place with 25 points.
  • Ajax have got the better of Excelsior of late, unbeaten in their last 11 Eredivisie matches (nine wins and two draws). Excelsior are looking for their first league win over Ajax since March 2015.
  • Brian Brobbey has been irreplaceable for Ajax this season. He is the club's leading scorer with 17 goals, eight of which were the first of the match.
  • Excelsior's attack has been spearheaded by Troy Parrott, who has netted on eight occasions, including two match-opening goals.
