| A home game against a relegation candidate is coming just at the right time. Ajax are lucky that they are only five points behind, because in view of the current crisis it could be far more. It's hard to believe that Ajax haven't won in six games. After two draws and a defeat, the team saved themselves during the winter break and had bigger plans for the start of the new year. In the 1-1 draw against NEC Nijmegen, however, it became clear that 2022 is far from forgotten. A 0-0 draw against Twente followed before Ajax had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw against Feyenoord in the top game from the matchday. The otherwise strong attack struggled, both goals came from Davy Klaassen. There is also a problem defensively. Admittedly, the defending champions have also been extremely unlucky in recent weeks to have numerous injured and sick players. On the other hand, with 42 goals conceded, Volendam has the weakest defense in the league. Ajax have conceded at least one goal in 9 of the past 10 games. |
