Jong Ajax and De Graafschap meet in the Eerste Divisie in clearly different shape. Jong Ajax lost 0-3 in their latest match and have not won in 4 straight games, while De Graafschap won 2-1 in their latest match and are unbeaten in 3 straight games. Jong Ajax this season have scored 13 and conceded 25 in 10 matches, with a clearly leaky defence. The 0-3 loss in their latest match is the clearest picture that they cannot keep up with the game. De Graafschap have scored 13 and conceded 23 in 10 matches, similar numbers, but their recent form is clearly better, winning 3 of their last 5 matches. This game should be open and end-to-end from both sides, because both have defences that concede easily enough. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how well Jong Ajax can settle at home. If they can control possession and avoid conceding early, the game should turn out to be close.
