Ajax has been scoring in every match this season, with the exception of their game against PSV, where no second goal was added after the opening score. Under trainer Míchel Sánchez, the team's goal-scoring statistics are impressive, thanks in part to the contributions of the substitutes.
Ajax is currently on 36 goals in 11 matches, and a big win against Willem II in their upcoming match could see them reach the milestone of 40 goals in the 12th match of the season. This would be the first time this century that the team has achieved this feat, with the only other instance being in the 2020/21 season.
The team's goal-scoring has been particularly impressive this season, with 14 goals scored in the Eredivisie. Five of these goals were scored in their recent match against Fortuna Sittard, where Ajax won 1-5. The goals were scored by substitutes Davy Klaassen and Kasper Dolberg, who have now scored four and five Eredivisie goals respectively, while in the entire previous season, only six goals were scored by players who came on as substitutes.
Ajax has a strong historical record against Willem II, having won 77 matches against them, with only NAC Breda (78 matches) being defeated more often in the Eredivisie.
