Ajax will entertain Heerenveen at the Amsterdam Arena in their upcoming Eredivisie fixture on Saturday.
The home team have maintained a 100% record in the league and have not conceded a goal in their last three league games. Their previous league game ended in a 4-0 win over Cambuur at home.
They continued their rich form in their UEFA Champions League opener against Rangers, recording a 4-0 win.
Heerenveen have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign but were held to a goalless draw at home by NEC Nijmegen last time around.
Ajax vs Heerenveen Head-to-Head
The two teams have locked horns 79 times across all competitions. As expected, the hosts have been the dominant side against their northern rivals, with 56 wins to their name.
The visitors are winless against the Amsterdam giants since a 1-0 away win in the 2008-09 season and have just 12 wins overall to their name. As many as 11 games have ended in draws, though the hosts are on an eight-game winning streak at the moment.
