The task for Ajax will be to maintain their good form as they travel to Twente in the Eredivisie on Sunday. The Amsterdam Club have blitzed their opponents in recent weeks and should have the upper hand over their erratic hosts.
Things appear to have gone slightly awry for Twente in recent weeks, although they are still challenging around the top end of the standings. Joseph Oostings men have picked up just two wins from their last seven matches.
Twente ended a two match winless home run last time out when they claimed a 5-0 victory over Heracles. They followed that up with a 2-2 Europa League draw at Nice, throwing away a two goal lead in that fixture.
Ajax are undoubtedly one of the form sides in the Eredivisie at the moment as they are unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions. Francesco Farioli’s men have claimed 12 wins in that run, including a 3-2 victory over leaders PSV Eindhoven last time out.
The Amsterdam side are also showing some good form on their travels and are unbeaten in their last seven away matches. They have won five times in that run and claimed a 2-0 victory at Feyenoord in their previous fixture on the road.
How the bookies view it: Twente with the edge
Twente have the edge among the bookies and are priced at 11/8 by Betfred to claim the win. A victory for Ajax is valued at 15/8 while Betfred is offering odds of 5/2 for a draw.
Head to head: Upper hand for Ajax
Ajax have a 37-16 advantage with 13 draw from 66 previous matches against Twente. The Amsterdam side claimed a 2-1 victory in the most recent fixture back in April but Twente have won the last two meetings at De Grolsch Veste.
Players to watch: Eyes on Weghorst
Wout Weghorst often leads the line for Ajax and has scored five times in the last eight Eredivisie matches. The striker could be worth keeping an eye on and is priced at 11/5 by Betfred to find the net on Sunday.
Sam Lammers has been the man in form for Twente in recent weeks, scoring in his last three matches. The forward is priced at odds of 2/1 by Betfred to maintain his scoring run.
Probable line-ups
Twente will be without leading scorer Sem Steijn, who is currently sidelined with injury. Sam Lammers should lead the line once again while Youri Regeer is set to continue in midfield.
Defenders Josip Sutalo and Gaston Avila are currently sidelined with injury and will miss out for Ajax. Weghorst could be handed a start after sitting out the Europa League win while Chuba Akpom is also expected to feature in attack.
Twente: Tyton, van Rooij, Lagerbielke, Van Hoorenbeeck, Salah-Eddine, Besselink, Kjolo, Rots, Regeer, van Bergen, Lammers
Ajax: Pasveer, Hato, Baas, Rugani, Gaaei, Henderson, Taylor, Fitz-Jim, Brobbey, Akpom, Weghorst
Anything else catch the eye?
The last two meetings at De Grolsch Veste have produced over 3.5 goals, which is priced at 7/4 with Betfred. Over 2.5 goals could also be considered at 4/6 with Betfred.
A fast start could be expected on Sunday, which means both teams are likely to score in the first half at 11/4 with Betfred.
