Ajax Form

On April 30th Ajax ended in a 1:1 draw with PSV during the regular 90 minutes and extra-time of their KNVB Beker final, but lost in the following shoot-out. They are currently on a run of two consecutive matches without a triumph, registering 1 defeat and 1 draw in the process. Ajax’ performance has not been greatly affected by the factor of playing at home or away in their last 10 encounters. These resulted in 4 home wins and 4 away wins. Draws were the result of 2 of the previous 10 games the club took part in. Of their last five games, four resulted in over 2.5 goals and three had both teams scoring. During that period Ajax managed to keep one clean sheet, while they failed to score in just one match. As statistics indicate, their preceding 5 meetings finished with 3.20 netted goals on average.

AZ Form

The latest match of AZ was against RKC Waalwijk on Sunday, with the outcome being a 3:0 win at home. Presently the team is enjoying a streak of three victories in succession. Playing at home turned out to be of little help across the ten previous AZ games as the hosting party recorded 6 victories and the travelling sides registered 3 triumphs. Just one of those last 10 clashes finished in a draw. Two of their most recent five encounters produced more than 2.5 goals with not even one seeing both of the teams netting goals. Within this timeframe AZ was successful in keeping three clean sheets and failed to score in two matches. During the team’s recent five outings, the goalkeepers had to pull the ball out of the nets 11 times altogether.
