The away team is currently in the 18^th position of the league, with 7 points won, after 1 win, 4 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Fortuna Sittard, by (3‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against PEC Zwolle, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 35 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 30 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Waalwijk has a record of 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 17 matches for the Eredivisie, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

It is clear that the home team is the favorite in this match. It will be a very difficult task for Waalwijk to surprise Ajax, who have been having a great campaign this season. With only 7 points accumulated so far and 12 defeats, the team has a huge mission to avoid another negative result. Going on the counterattacks can be a valid strategy to try to secure at least a draw.
