Ajax are up against Twente in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on May 18, with the match kicking off at 12:30 UTC.
6 months after their last meeting in Eredivisie, the spotlight turns to the field where Ajax and Twente meet again. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 2-2 draw. Ajax head into this game after their recent draw with Sparta Rotterdam last Sunday in the Eredivisie. They have several key matches to navigate before facing Twente though, including Groningen and NEC in Eredivisie. Their performances across these fixtures could be a key factor in their preparations for Twente. Having conceded goals in each of their last four matches, they face a chance to reset and refocus on defensive solidity.
Twente's current performances leave more to be desired, as they prepare for this match after a loss to PSV in the Eredivisie on April 24, unable to secure a win in their last five games. They face a packed schedule leading up to their match against Ajax though, with fixtures including AZ, Utrecht and Sparta Rotterdam in Eredivisie, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Ajax. Their defense has shown cracks, conceding goals in their last ten away matches in a row.
This Eredivisie encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Ajax and Twente throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Kenneth Taylor and Bertrand Traore have been pivotal for Ajax’s attack, crafted under Francesco Farioli’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Ajax’s top scorer in Eredivisie, Taylor, has nine goals this season, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with six key passes leading to goals so far this term. Adding further support are Mika Godts, Wout Weghorst and Brian Brobbey, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
Meanwhile, Twente’s attacking options, under Joseph Oosting’s guidance, have been bolstered by Sem Steijn, the team’s top scorer, and Michel Vlap, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Steijn has emerged as Twente’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting 23 goals, with Vlap leading their creative tally in the league with seven assists. Twente’s attacking depth is further showcased by Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Sam Lammers and Daan Rots, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
