Frank de Boer’s side would be gunning to bag maximum points in their upcoming encounter against Ton Lokhoff’s men after dropping points in their previous home game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 Arnhem.
In the 13th round of Dutch top tier football, Ajax Amsterdam will take on VVV-Venlo at Amsterdam Arena on Saturday, November 17.
Ajax Amsterdam
The Amsterdammers are heading into the game on the back of an impressive 4-2 win over PEC Zwolle on November 11. A goal each from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Siem-de-Jong-c33482 coupled with a brace from Viktor Fischer gifted the Eredivisie champions a comfortable 4-0
lead.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denni-Avdic-c10901 and Jesper Drost both found the back of the net once in the final 10 minutes of the game, but it was not enough for the home side to change the outcome of the game.
Occupying the fourth spot on the Eredivisie table, the Amsterdammers have struggled to bag maximum points on numerous occasions thus far this term. They have an overall record of 12 played, 5 won, 6 drawn and 1 lost.
Frank de Boer, De Joden head coach, has expressed confidence that his side will manage to defend their title successfully at the end of the campaign. However, the Dutch mentor has urged his troops to put in their 100 percent week in week out if they are
to become Dutch champions yet again.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915
The Venlose Trots cruised to a morale boosting 4-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Cullen-c31234, Brian Linssen and Oguzhan Turk secured a comfortable victory for the home side, while
Virgil Misidjan netted a consolation goal for the Tricolors.
VVV commenced the 2012/13 season poorly, but it seems like they have started to gain rhythm. Sitting at the 16th place in the league standings, they have an overall record of 12 played, 2 won, 3 drawn and 7 lost.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ton-c35408 Lokhoff, the Venlose Trots boss, has admitted that his side will face an uphill task to secure a good result against the mighty Amsterdammers. However, the Dutchman has insisted that his side will try their level best to secure a good result.
Head-to-Head statistics
In the last five head-to-head meetings between Ajax and VVV, the Amsterdammers managed to emerge victorious in all of the games.
Players to watch
Siem de Jong – Ajax Amsterdam
The midfielder-c*m-striker has thus far performed brilliantly. Netting five goals while providing three assists as well in 12 Eredivisie appearances, the Dutchman has remained a constant threat for his oppositions thus far, and would be keen to put in another
impressive show to help his side claim all three points.
Uche Nwofor – VVV-Venlo
The Nigerian ace has thus far netted three goals while setting up one more in 10 league games. He would be keen to play his part in the upcoming encounter as well.
Prediction
VVV fans will have to pray for a miraculous performance from their beloved side. Otherwise, it seems to be that the Amsterdammers will cruise to a comfortable victory.
Predicted score-line: Ajax 3-1 VVV.
