In this week 5 match on the 3rd of September, Ajax and SC Cambuur will play a match in Amsterdam in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Eredivisie teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 1st placed Ajax, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against FC Utrecht. Steven Berghuis struck first for Ajax in the 10th minute, then Brian Brobbey added another in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Steven Berghuis At the end of 90 a dissapointed FC Utrecht couldn’t manage to score, and Ajax took the shutout win. Ajax should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 10th placed SC Cambuur, recorded a 0-1 loss against AZ Alkmaar. Jordy Clasie scored the first goal for AZ Alkmaar in the 90th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, SC Cambuur couldn’t muster any offence and AZ Alkmaar ran away with the shutout win. SC Cambuur looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Ajax won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Hoedemakers has been the most prolific scorer on SC Cambuur in the last five matches with 2 goals. Steven Bergwijn has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, hes scored 4 goals for Ajax.
