Ajax welcomes AZ in the Johan Cruijff Arena

Ajax welcomes AZ in the Johan Cruijff Arena

In the Eredivisie top soccer can be enjoyed again this weekend. The most attractive match of the weekend will be played on Sunday at 16:45 in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The whirling Ajax gets a visit from the ailing AZ. Both clubs managed to win in Europe during the week. The Amsterdammers won easily against Sporting CP, while AZ narrowly won against Randers FC. In recent years, the Alkmaarders sometimes managed to surprise against the leaders, but the difference in strength seems too big this season.

Ajax welcomes AZ

Ajax in good shape

Ajax was able to write history in the UEFA Champions League last week. The Amsterdam club not only finished in 1st place in the group, but won all six matches. A unique achievement and it shows once again that Ajax is in great shape. In the Eredivisie, Ajax is also doing well and is in 1st place. There seems to be too little opposition for the top club in the Dutch league this season. By the way, you can place bets on the site cricket betting apps for real cash.

Ajax lost only one of the last 21 matches and that was at home against FC Utrecht (0-1). The last five matches were all won, including against Willem II (5-0) and at Besiktas (1-2). Ajax have scored 48 goals so far this season and have only conceded two in the Eredivisie. Those are very impressive figures. Striker Haller has already scored nine times, while captain Tadic was good for 10 assists. Ajax scored 18 times in the last five home matches. Ajax also won four of the last five home games against AZ.

AZ still searching and disappointing

AZ is in 8th place in the Eredivisie and still seems to be searching for the right form. The Alkmaar club saw almost all of its key players leave last summer and that has taken a heavy toll. AZ finished in first place in the group stage of the UEFA Conference League and managed to win 1-0 last Thursday against the very weak Randers FC from Denmark. The winning goal was scored by the talented Thijs Oosting. AZ's arrears to frontrunner Ajax is no less than 13 points.

AZ is now unbeaten for six consecutive games. They drew three times, but the last three games ended in a victory. Last weekend they won 3-1 against Sparta Rotterdam, after AZ again quickly fell behind. AZ's performance in recent weeks has been dramatic in away games, failing to win any of the last four on foreign soil. AZ won one of the last five away matches at the Johan Cruijff Arena. In three of the last five away matches at Ajax, the club from Alkmaar did not even score.
