Willem II's last victory in the Eredivisie came at their last home ground when they defeated Waalwijk 3-1 on February 6.

Ajax, in addition to having a very good unbeaten streak, has not conceded a goal in its most recent three matches and hopes to maintain that record.

Willem II will try to make a splash in the Eredivisie when they face top-ranked Ajax. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

Ajax has dominated the last five games with a record of three wins to one draw and one loss, noting that their most recent visit was last year and they barely managed a one-goal draw:

Ajax 5-0 Willem II, 2021.

Ajax 3-1 Willem II, 2021

Willem II 1-1 Ajax, 2021

Ajax 0-2 Willem II, 2019

Willem II 0-4 Ajax, 2019 (Dutch Cup)

One player who has been on a scoring spree in recent games has been Sébastien Haller, an important part of several goals, including a brace in the 5-0 win over Twente, so his team will be hoping he keeps up his level as the most important games of the season loom.

If there is someone who will have a lot of work to do for this game, it will be goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther, who will have to be one hundred percent focused to keep a clean sheet for as long as possible and give his club hope of a positive score.

Due to their midweek game in the UEFA Champions League where they will face Benfica, the team could suffer some rotation thinking about that game, however, they should not let go of the accelerator with which they are in the Eredivisie, since they are five points ahead of PSV and six ahead of Feyenoord.

Willem II is just one position above the relegation zone, which is why they will have to win at home to get at least some positive result that will allow them to gain confidence, highlighting that in their last 13 matches they have just one victory and 12 defeats.

The Willem II vs Ajax match will be played at the Koning Willem II Stadion, in Tilburg, Netherlands. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:45 pm ET.
