Ajax vs NEC H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Ajax take on NEC in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on May 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 14:45 UTC.

A sense of anticipation builds as the upcoming face-off sees Ajax and NEC renew their battle, 5 months after their previous Eredivisie match which Ajax won 1-2. Ajax come into the match following a draw against Sparta Rotterdam last Sunday in the Eredivisie. Turning their attention to defensive solidity could be the key to turning draws into victories, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.

NEC are heading into this match following a defeat to Heerenveen in the Eredivisie last Sunday. They have a key fixture leading up to the match against Ajax though, taking on Willem II in Eredivisie, and the outcome of this game may heavily influence their preparations for Ajax. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for four consecutive matches now.

Ajax and NEC meet in Eredivisie with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles. Ajax’s offensive unit, under Francesco Farioli’s management, has leaned on Kenneth Taylor, their main scorer, and Bertrand Traore, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Taylor has already scored nine goals in Eredivisie this season, while also being their most creative player, providing six assists in the league so far. Mika Godts, Wout Weghorst and Brian Brobbey have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.

Meanwhile, NEC’s top finisher Vito van Crooij and Koki Ogawa have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Rogier Meijer, remains effective. van Crooij has already scored nine goals in Eredivisie this season, while also excelling as their primary creator, registering five assists in the competition so far. NEC have also relied on Sontje Hansen, Sami Ouaissa and Thomas Ouwejan to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
