"Go Ahead Eagles have been behind at the break in each of their last eight away defeats"

Back Ajax/Ajax @ 1.738/11 v Go Ahead Eagles

Tobias Gourlay hopes Go Ahead will make his day

Ajax v Go Ahead Eagles
Saturday 19:45
(Live on Sky Sports Interactive)

Not enough fun in Turkey last night. Kasimpasa 2 Konyaspor 0 left us a goal short of satisfaction, so we're off to the party capital that is Amsterdam.

Four-time reigning Dutch champions Ajax were held to a goalless draw in their last game at the Amsterdam Arena. But that was the first time in 11 home games that Frank De Boer's men failed to score before half-time.

Their full home record under De Boer is W46-D13-L4 and, most exciting for us, they've been ahead at half-time in 32 of those 46 wins.

Go Ahead Eagles come to town on the back of a 3-2 win at Utrecht from their last away trip. Boss man Foeke Booy won't want you to look at the bigger picture, however. The Eagles have lost 13/20 on the road and been losing at the break in 10 of those 13 defeats, including each of the last eight.
