Frank de Boer would be keen to secure second win of the 2012/13 season when his side take on the hapless Yellow Army, who played brilliantly against FC Twente Enschede last week but lost the game 1-0 at the end.
On Eredivisie match-day three, Ajax Amsterdam will lock horns against NAC Breda at Amsterdam Arena on Saturday, August 25.

The Amsterdammers are heading into the game on the back of a convincing 6-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen at McDOS Goffertstadion on August 19. The defending champions outplayed the home side in every department on the pitch, and deservingly bagged all three points.

The Yellow Army put in an impressive show against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leroy-Fer-c22126 netted the only goal of the match in the 51st minute.
The NAC boss, John Karelse, is hoping that his side could upset the Amsterdam giants in the upcoming game following his side’s highly promising show against the Tukkers last week.
Although, the Dutch trainer knows that it will not be an easy task to overcome the mighty Amsterdam-based club, he has insisted that they can achieve a good result should his side take advantage on counter attacks.
“Ajax often loses the ball in the final third. We will have to take full advantage of these opportunities if we are to emerge victorious”, Karelse was quoted as saying to Nusport.nl.
Head-to-Head statistics
The reigning Eredivisie champions have recorded easy wins in four of their last five encounters against NAC, while the remaining game ended in a draw.
Players to watch
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074 – Ajax Amsterdam
The Danish wonder-kid has been performing brilliantly for the Dutch champions since the start of the 2011/12 campaign, and his impressive form has not dropped a bit coming into the ongoing season. The talented midfielder will be one of the main threats for
the visiting side, and will play an important role in securing all three points for the Amsterdam giants.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jelle-ten-Rouwelaar-c18282 – NAC Breda
The 31-year-old goalkeeper will be tested consistently throughout the 90 minutes by the Ajax strike force. The veteran gloves man will have to perform at his best if his side has any chance of achieving a good result away from home.
Prediction
Ajax are the favourites to bag all three points with ease without a doubt, and it seems highly unlikely that NAC would be upsetting the Dutch champions at Amsterdam Arena.
Predicted score-line: Ajax 4-0 NAC.
