Ajax vs NEC H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

In Eredivisie action, Ajax meet NEC on October 10. Kickoff is scheduled for 19:00 UTC.

The countdown begins for a clash that promises intensity as Ajax and NEC renew their battle, 8 months after the previous Eredivisie match that concluded in a 1-1 stalemate. Following a recent loss to PSV last Saturday, Ajax aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash. Before facing NEC, they will face Excelsior, Willem II and Fortuna Sittard in Eredivisie, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against NEC. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across six consecutive home matches.

NEC approach this game after a draw with Excelsior last Tuesday. Their upcoming schedule leading up to Ajax includes Go Ahead Eagles and Cambuur Leeuwarden in Eredivisie and Juventus in Europa League League Stage, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Ajax. Their backline remains a concern, with goals conceded across eight consecutive matches.

In this Eredivisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Ajax and NEC throughout the campaign. Ajax’s offensive unit has leaned on Steven Berghuis and Tolu Arokodare, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Arokodare leads Ajax’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with two goals, with Berghuis leading their creative tally in the league with two assists. Supporting them are Davy Klaassen, Oscar Gloukh and Mika Godts, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Ajax’s attack.

Meanwhile, NEC’s top finisher Tjaronn Chery and Kaj Sierhuis have played important roles in ensuring their attack remains effective. Chery leads NEC’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with three goals, while also excelling as their primary creator, registering one assist in the competition so far. NEC’s offense has also been strengthened by Dusan Tadic, Adam Tahaui and Brian Linssen, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
