Command Analysis
Ajax
Ajax continues to chase the leader, but is still three points behind. At this stage, the Jews have 13 points and are in fourth place in the standings. The battle for a place in the Champions League is going to be serious, as the opponents in the person of PSV, Feyenoord and AZ are also playing confidently. In the last round, Miguel Munoz's team defeated Willem II on their own field(5:1), and earlier they outplayed Fortune with the same score.
Excelsior
The team is on the sixth line in the standings, earned 10 points, which consisted of three wins and one draw. Excelsior is currently fighting for a place in the top 7 in the championship, but the density in the table does not allow you to relax. In the last round, Ruben den Eyl's team was defeated by Utrecht (1:2), and earlier they could not beat NEC (0:0).
In this match, the home team are the undisputed favorites. Ajax has been declaring great ambitions since the start of the championship, intends to fight for a place in the Champions League, and in the last two games they are crushing their rivals with a crushing score of 5:1. Jews look preferable and have the advantage of their field. We hope that the Amsterdam team will take advantage of the experience and win by a few goals.
