【Season 013】Optimistic about Ajax victory

Ajax ended the chaos two seasons ago last season, but he was still out of the European game early. With a 9-point lead, he lost his state in the last few rounds and was reversed by Eindhoven and finally won the runner-up. This season, Ajax is coached by young coach Hetinga, and the team aims to compete for the Eredivisie championship and has now achieved an unbeaten start of 1 win and 1 draw. In the last round of the league, Ajax drew 2-2 with the Forward Eagles, with Klassen and Bass scored respectively.

Hercules was briefly relegated to the Dutch League in the 2022-23 season and completed the upgrade in the season. He has won the mid- and lower-level rankings in the Dutch Eredivisie in the past two seasons, and his competitiveness is limited. This season, Hercules continues to be at the mid- and lower level, and has now suffered a two-game losing streak, conceding 8 goals in two rounds of games, and performing extremely poorly on the defensive end. In the last round of the league, the team lost 1-4 to Nijmegen, and Horncamp scored a goal, but was sent off with a red card and suspended this round.

Ajax won five consecutive victories against Hercules. Ajax performed averagely in the first two rounds of the game. He faced the deputy squad leader in this game and was optimistic about the team's victory.
