  • Steven Bergwijn has stepped up for Ajax this season. He is the club's leading scorer with four goals, one of which has been the first of the match.
  • Osame Sahraoui is Heerenveen's main attacking threat, he's netted on four occasions, including two match-opening goals.
  • Ajax come into this game having won just two of their previous four Eredivisie home games. Heerenveen will be looking to end a four-match away losing streak.
