Despite Ajax's recent Europa League loss, they are still favorites to defend their Eredivisie title under recently employed head coach Johnny Heitinga. The team has won all five league matches since Heitinga's promotion, including a recent hard-fought 2-1 win over Vitesse. Lost only in Europa League vs Union. In their most recent match, Ajax won 3-0 in the KNVB Beker quarter-finals against De Graafschap, and they will be looking to post their third successive league win at the Cruijff Arena. On the other hand, NEC comes into this match having won just six of their 11 away league fixtures this season. However, they recently scored four times away at Feyenoord in the Dutch cup before losing on penalties. Despite posting back-to-back 3-0 wins over Excelsior and FC Volendam, NEC is still 12 points clear of the bottom three and will be aiming to close the seven-point gap to seventh position.In terms of team news, Ajax is likely to field a similar XI to the one which started the Vitesse game, with Calvin Bassey pushing for a return to the defence. However, Brian Brobbey is more likely to start on the bench despite scoring in the cup fixture. For NEC, Pedro Marques will be hoping for a recall in the final third, but Meijer is more likely to name an unchanged team. Ajax is likely to continue their impressive form under Heitinga and win comfortably against NEC, despite the visitors' recent run of form. 3-0, 4-1 are my predicted results here.

尽管阿贾克斯最近输掉了欧联杯，但在新上任的主教练约翰尼·海廷加的带领下，他们仍然是卫冕荷甲冠军的热门人选。自从海廷加升级后，球队已经赢了所有的五场联赛，包括最近艰难的2-1战胜维特斯。只在欧联杯对阵联盟的比赛中输球。在他们最近的一场比赛中，阿贾克斯在KNVB Beker四分之一决赛中以3-0战胜De Graafschap，他们将在克鲁伊夫球场取得联赛三连胜。另一方面，NEC在本赛季的11场客场比赛中只赢了6场。然而，他们最近在荷兰杯客场对费耶诺德的比赛中4次破门，最后点球告负。尽管连续3-0战胜了Excelsior和FC Volendam, NEC仍然领先倒数三名12分，并将努力缩小7分的差距，排在第七位。在球队消息方面，阿贾克斯很可能会派出与对阵维特斯比赛时相似的11人阵容，卡尔文·巴塞将会回归后防线。然而，布莱恩·布罗比虽然在杯赛中进球，但更有可能在替补席上首发。对于NEC，佩德罗·马奎斯将希望在最后三分之一召回，但梅杰更有可能命名一个不变的团队。阿贾克斯很可能在海廷加的带领下继续他们令人印象深刻的状态，并轻松战胜NEC。3比0 4比1是我预测的结果。
