What to expect
Ajax will want the home crowd involved early, while AZ will aim to stay organised and make the first hour uncomfortable. Games like this tend to turn on small details, whether that is a set piece, a single mistake or one moment of quality. Neither Ajax nor AZ will want to fall behind early, and the opening twenty minutes may say a lot about how the game goes. A result here could shift things in this season’s Eredivisie table, even if only by a place or two. A good atmosphere in the stadium can make a real difference, and both sets of supporters will have made their plans. Form can count for a lot, but it rarely settles a game on its own. As ever with fixtures like this, the pre-match talk counts for little once the first whistle goes. However the match unfolds, it will add another chapter to the season for both clubs. A clean start and a solid shape at the back are usually the first things coaches ask for in games like this. Come back nearer the day for any update to the match details.
