Ajax vs Heracles, Netherlands – Eredivisie, Johan Cruijff ArenA, 16:45

Ajax will host Heracles in the last fixture of matchday 23 at the Johan Cruijff ArenA this Sunday evening.

The hosts are on 51 points and took the lead in the league standings last weekend, while the visitors are in 14th place, seven points clear of the drop.

Ajax heads into this weekend’s league match with great confidence, following their 2-0 victory against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League playoff on Thursday night.

De Godenzonen are certainly on an upward trajectory in the New Year, as they have won all four of their league games since the turn of the calendar and are now riding a six-match win streak dating back to mid-December.

Last weekend, Francesco Farioli’s side delivered a solid performance to beat Fortuna Sittard on the road. With that result, they overtook PSV in the league table, now at the summit of the standings for the first time this season.

The hosts have been near-perfect at home this season, dropping points only once in 10 league matches at the Johan Cruijff ArenA (W9 D1 L0), while the last time they were beaten at this venue in the top flight was in October 2023.

While Heracles are enjoying their best run of form this season, Ajax have been sensational over the last couple of months and have not been beaten in a league game at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in well over a year.

While focusing on their Europa League second-leg playoff, the hosts are expected to adjust their lineup for this match. However, we believe they will still outperform the visitors.
