Ajax will play on Sunday 12:30 an away match against SC Cambuur.

Ajax and SC Cambuur until now only played 12 official matches against one another, because Cambuur only spent a small part of its history in the Eredivisie. Ajax won 9 of the meetings, played 1 draw and lost 2 times.

Last season Ajax was able to win the away match by a small margin, 1-2, while later in the season the match in the ArenA ended in 1-1.

The first time that Ajax and Cambuur met was also the match with most goals between the two clubs. In season 1960-61 Ajax at home with 7-4 in the semi final of the Dutch cup.

On average Ajax scores a little less than 3 goals per match against Cambuur, while Cambuur scores almost 1.5 goal per match against Ajax. So far a match never ended in a goalless draw.
Dennis Bergkamp is with 4 goals the topscorer of Ajax against Cambuur.

From the current Ajax squad only Davy Klaassen and Lasse Schone scored against Cambuur, both only one goal.

This season Dejan Meleg from Ajax plays on loan for Cambuur. Daniël de Ridder, who has changed clubs almost every year since he left Aax in 2005, also plays for Cambuur this season. Recently Jody Lukoki and Marco Bizot did the same. If we go further back we see that Ajax great Fred Grim played a large part of his career at Cambuur.

Ajax is now unbeaten for seven Eredivisie matches in a row, and the plan is to add another one to that serie before the interland period.
