09/12/2014
Ajax will play against Heracles Almelo
Saturday at 18:30.
Ajax and Heracles played a total of 43 official matches
against eachother, from which 27 were won by Ajax, 10 draws, and 6 times Ajax lost.
In the previous season Ajax won at home against Heracles, while in the away game Ajax and Heracles drew.
In the seasons 1926-27 and
1933-34 Heracles and Ajax met in the champions
competition. The first time Ajax was able to take points from Heracles via a draw, twice, while Heracles won
the remainder of the games and became the new domestic champion. The second time Ajax became the domestic champion
after first beating Heracles at home with 9-1 followed by a 2-1 loss in Almelo.
Gemiddeld scoort Ajax iets minder dan drie doelpunten per
wedstrijd tegen Heracles, Heracles scoorde iets minder dan 1 doelpunt per wedstrijd.
Opvallend dat er in totaal slechts 2 maal 0-0 is gespeeld.
On average Ajax scores a bit less than 3 goals per match against Heracles, Heracles scores a little less than 1 goal per match.
Only 2 of the meetings ended in a goalless draw.
Marco van Basten and
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the most goals
against Heracles with 8 (in only two matches) and 7 goals. From the current squad
Lasse Schone scored 3
and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson 2 times against Heracles
in the Ajax colors.
Milano Koenders from Heracles has been under contract
at Ajax, but never played an official match for Ajax 1. Ajax took over
Lerin Duarte from Heracles.
Rob Alflen,
Frits Soetekouw and
Bob Westra are some of the famous players that
played for both Ajax and Heracles in the past.
Ajax lost 2 games in a row and a longer series is rare. In the season 1998-99 Ajax lost 4 Eredivisie matches in a row for the
last time and we have to get back to pre-Eredivisie times to find even langer series of lost matches (with a maximum of 6). About the
only positive series that is left is that Ajax was able to score at least one goal in the last 12 Eredivisie home games. However the record (94
Eredivisie home matches between December 1968 and April 1974) is still far away.
