Ajax is showing consistent play in the Eredivisie, comfortably sitting near the top of the table. The team has lost only to AZ Alkmaar in 10 matches and boasts a powerful attack, scoring 20 goals. Home matches are a particular strength for the Amsterdammers, where they feel most comfortable.
Heerenveen is in the middle of the table and has posted decent results. However, the team struggles in away matches, where they are less confident. Heerenveen traditionally trails Ajax in head-to-head matches, especially away from home.
Given the difference in the teams' class, Ajax's excellent form, and their home advantage, a confident victory is most likely for the hosts.
