Ajax vs Excelsior Preview :
Barely three weeks earlier, the Amsterdammers were down and in the Eredivisie title race. However, their superb performances in recent weeks in conjunction with poor showings from the table toppers have brought them back into title contention.
De Joden are currently placed third within the league table, trailing league leaders FC Twente Enschede by four points having a game at hand. The outfit from Amsterdam have played good football this season, especially following the winter break where they've performed like champions. They have an overall record of 31 played, 19 won, 7 drawn and 5 lost.
Excelsior enter into this match about the back of a morale boosting 2-1 win over NAC Breda in the Rat Verlegh Stadion last week. Playing against a remarkable Eredivisie side within this game, they would have confidence of producing another good result.
Alex Pastoor, the Kralingers manager, will be optimistic about his side’s likelihood of avoiding relegation within the play-offs. Pastoor’s troops have bagged a place or more in their last three fixtures and you will be hoping to keep up with the unbeaten run 'till the end of the season.
The Kralingers are placed 16th in the league table, six points adrift from the safety zone. With nine points left to grab within the season, likelihood of climbing out of the relegation zone are slim, but Pastoor’s males are going to play within the Dutch top tier next season.
