Ajax vs NEC Kick Off Time

Event details:
NAME: Ajax – NEC Nijmegen
DATE: 5 Mar 2023
TIME: 15:45 UTC
VENUE: Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam, Netherlands

 

Ajax play host to NEC on Sunday afternoon looking to record their sixth successive victory in the Eredivisie.

At a time when the defending champions begin the latest matchday three points adrift of top spot, NEC are ninth in the standings after two wins in a row of their own.

Ajax have collected maximum points from each of their five league matches since Heitinga’s promotion from the second-string, the latest of those wins being a hard-fought 2-1 triumph at Vitesse.

 

 

Just like they did against RKC Waalwijk last month, Ajax had to come from behind to ensure that they remain within three points of Feyenoord, who they play on March 19.

Ajax had things more their own way in the KNVB Beker quarter-finals in midweek, running out 3-0 victors over De Graafschap.

 

 

That brought an end a three-match streak of away fixtures, and Ajax return to the Johan Cruijff ArenA looking to post their third successive league win on familiar territory.

Although NEC head into this encounter having won just six matches in the Dutch top flight during 2022-23, two of those victories have come in succession.

Back-to-back 3-0 triumphs have been posted over Excelsior and FC Volendam, results which have put NEC 12 points clear of the bottom three.

Instead, Roger Meijer and his team can begin to look upwards and attempt to close the seven-point gap to seventh position.
