In my opinion this is perfect moment for Ajax to make 3 points and gain momentum for next matches.

Ajax coming for this game with mental advantage as they won last 3 matches in a row against Utrecht. Guests won last two matches at this stadium, both with more than one goal difference.

Obviously, Ajax plays horrible so far. Ajax never was ranked lower in league table than currently is. They failed to win in 7 matches in a row for the first time since 1965. For the first time since 1999 Ajax lost 3 consecutive league matches. Time to bounce back. They have much bigger potential than that, no doubt about that. Break for national teams should be helpful, everyone in club had a moment to think about everything without pressure of time. Many players went to the national teams and produced good performances so they should back to Ajax with confidence on higher level. Coach Steijn said: ‘The international break was good for me and the staff. We continued training with a small group, because most of the people were gone. I have watched many matches of us, FC Utrecht and our internationals. I saw beautiful things there and that is positive. They all played a lot of minutes.’

Really no better opponents for Ajax to break bad streak than Utrecht. Despite so horrible start of the season by Ajax, Utrecht is even worse – they are the worst team in Eredivisie. The lowest expected goals scored number and second-highest number for expected goals conceded. Utrecht lost last 3 matches in a row and failed to score in each game.

Now or never for Ajax, really.

在我看来，这是阿贾克斯拿到3分并为下一场比赛积累动力的完美时刻。

阿贾克斯带着心理优势来参加这场比赛，因为他们在最近3场比赛中战胜了乌得勒支。客队在这个球场赢得了最近两场比赛，两场比赛都有一个以上的净胜球。

显然，到目前为止，Ajax的表现很糟糕。阿贾克斯的排名从来没有像现在这样低。他们自1965年以来首次7连败。这是阿贾克斯自1999年以来第一次连续输掉3场联赛。是时候振作起来了。毫无疑问，他们有更大的潜力。国家队的休息应该是有帮助的，俱乐部的每个人都有时间去思考所有的事情，没有时间的压力。很多球员都去了国家队，并且表现出色，所以他们应该带着更高水平的信心回到阿贾克斯。施泰因教练说:“国际比赛日对我和教练组都有好处。我们继续和一小群人一起训练，因为大多数人都走了。我看了很多我们的比赛，乌得勒支和我们的国际比赛。我在那里看到了美好的事物，这是积极的。他们都打了很多时间。”

对于阿贾克斯来说，没有比乌得勒支更好的对手了。尽管阿贾克斯本赛季开局很糟糕，但乌得勒支更糟糕——他们是荷甲最差的球队。最低预期进球数和第二高预期失球数。乌得勒支队最近3场比赛都输了，而且每场比赛都没有进球。

对Ajax来说，时不再来，真的。
