All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming match sees Ajax and Excelsior prepare to meet again, 2 years after their previous Eredivisie encounter which ended in a draw 2-2. Ajax are in a rough patch, heading into this clash after suffering defeats to Utrecht and Galatasaray, marking three games without a single win. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, having conceded goals in each of their last thirteen matches.

Excelsior are entering this game after suffering a loss to Heracles Almelo in the Eredivisie on November 8, leaving them without a victory in their last four outings. Their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across ten consecutive away matches.

This Eredivisie clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of Ajax and Excelsior. Ajax’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Fred Grim, have been bolstered by Mika Godts and Wout Weghorst, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Weghorst has emerged as Ajax’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting six goals, while Godts remains their top assist provider in the competition with five. Ajax have also relied on Oscar Gloukh, Kenneth Taylor and Davy Klaassen to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Excelsior’s offensive unit, carefully orchestrated by Ruben den Uil, has leaned on Irakli Yegoian and Gyan de Regt, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With two goals in Eredivisie, de Regt is Excelsior’s top scorer in the league, with Yegoian topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Supporting them are Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Szymon Wlodarczyk and Rick Meissen, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Excelsior’s attack.
