Ajax were able to pull ahead of their championship rivals after PSV and Feyenoord dropped points while they ran out 1-0 winners at Sparta Rotterdam. It was the club's seventh consecutive clean sheet since a 1-0 home loss against Utrecht on matchday eight. Erik ten Hag's men, though, come into this week's game against Willem II in mixed form at home. Across their last three Johan Cruyff Arena league matches, they've picked up four points and they could go back-to-back home games without a win since August 2016. 2016 marked Willem II's second and most recent success in Amsterdam against the defending Eredivisie champions. The club from Tilburg are 11th in the league table after winning five times across their previous 14 outings. Fred Grim's side however come into this Thursday's game on a four-game losing streak and they've failed to win any of their seven matches, losing five. On the road Willem II have picked up just one point from the last 12 available after collecting seven from the first nine up for grabs. 2:0
