Heracles has been struggling recently, losing two of their last five matches and drawing the other three. They haven't scored in their last two games. Ajax, on the other hand, has drawn four of their last five matches, with a single win and a loss in that run.

Looking at recent meetings between these teams, the last three matches have been quite open with several goals, including a high-scoring win for Heracles last season. Before that, however, their matches often ended without any goals. This upcoming match could be a close contest given both teams' recent form.
