Struggling with injuries to his players, coach Alfred Schreuder had to immediately concoct precise tactics so that Ajax was able to block Twente’s steps which were unbeaten in the last six league matches.

Preview
Failing to win in the domestic league since November 2022 has made Ajax’s position in second place in the standings even more vulnerable. Moreover, PSV continues to stalk from third place with an equal number of points, only behind in the number of goal difference.
The problem is, in a less consistent condition last season’s Eredivisie champions have to host Twente, a club that is unbeaten in the last six league matches – four wins and two draws. What’s more, this season Twente is listed as the club with the best defensive line-up with only nine goals conceded in 15 matches.
Meanwhile, Ajax, which has conceded 18 goals in league matches this season, failed to gain full points in the last four league matches – three draws and one defeat.
Schreuder’s team have also not managed to win on the last three occasions against their opponents in a competitive match at Johan Cruyff ArenA since the end of October 2022. After losing 3-0 to Liverpool in the Champions League, Ajax was defeated by PSV 2-1 before then drawing 2- 2 with Vitesse.
Under these conditions, of course, the head-to-head record advantage against Twente should be a key boost for the host side. de Godenzonen has won seven of the last eight occasions to host Twente since 2012, losing only once 2-1 in December 2020.
But it is very difficult to determine whether the h2h winning streak can be continued in this clash. Even though they have not managed to win when visiting the top eight teams in the standings – two draws and two defeats – Ron Jans’ team is believed to be fighting hard to be able to bring home three full points which have the opportunity to take him through to the top three in the standings.
