The spotlight turns to the field where the upcoming encounter sees Ajax and Excelsior prepare to meet again, 8 months after the previous Eredivisie meeting which ended in a draw 2-2. Ajax come into this match fresh off a victory over Twente in Eredivisie on April 14. Still, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last seven matches.

Excelsior, fresh off a win against Volendam, approach this match eager to continue their positive form in the same manner. For all that, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last ten away matches.

This Eredivisie encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Ajax and Excelsior throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Ajax’s attacking options, under John Van't Schip’s guidance, have been bolstered by Brian Brobbey, the team’s top scorer, and Steven Berghuis, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Brobbey has already scored seventeen goals in Eredivisie this season, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with eight assists this campaign. Adding further support are Steven Bergwijn, Chuba Akpom and Kenneth Taylor, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Excelsior’s offensive unit, crafted under Marinus Dijkhuizen’s leadership, has leaned on Lazaros Lamprou and Troy Parrott, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Parrott leads Excelsior’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with seven goals, with Lamprou leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Couhaib Driouech, Lance Duijvestijn and Siebe Horemans have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
