Excelsior vs Ajax – Prediction, and Match Preview
Excelsior vs Ajax – Excelsior, fresh off a 3–4 Eredivisie victory against NEC, will be looking to replicate their previous performance. Oscar Uddenäs (100′), Richie Omorowa (73′), Casper Widell (53′), and Nikolas Agrafiotis (12′) were the scores for Excelsior.
NEC scored goals through Youri Baas (36′), Sontje Hansen (44′), and Koki Ogawa (60′). During their previous six games, Excelsior, under Marinus Dijkhuizen, have reaped benefits for nine of their goal attempts.
In the same games, they have allowed eight goals to be scored against them. Excelsior had not defeated Ajax in their previous 17 league games going into this one. What a miserable streak it has been without a victory.
After defeating Heracles Almelo 4-1 in their previous Eredivisie game, Ajax will enter this one high on confidence. Steven Bergwijn (85′, 96′), Mohammed Kudus (75′), and Jakov Medić (45′) scored for Ajax. For Heracles Almelo, Mario Engels scored in the 45th minute.
With 12 goals in their last 6 games, Ajax has demonstrated their offensive prowess in their most recent games. That being said, Ajax may also strengthen their defense after giving up goals in five of the same games.
Time will tell, though, if that pattern continues in this upcoming match. Excelsior hasn’t defeated Ajax away from home in their last eight league games going into this particular matchup. a very strong record away from home against them.
