  • Heracles are in 12th place with nine points after eight matches. Heracles lost their last Eredivisie match 4-1 at De Adelaarshorst against Go Ahead Eagles, snapping a three-match undefeated run.
  • Ajax won the last Eredivisie meeting between the sides, emerging victorious 4-2 at Asito Stadion the previous season. Brian Brobbey led Ajax with goals in the 16th and 57th minute. Steven Berghuis and Kristian Hlynsson also were on target. Jizz Hornkamp and Mario Engels found the net for the Heracles.
  • Ajax have got the better of Heracles of late, and are unbeaten in their last six Eredivisie meetins. Heracles are looking for their first league win in games between the two sides since February 2020. Ajax have outscored the Heracles 18-3 during their unbeaten streak.
  • Looking at players who made a difference in 2024/2025, Ajax's leading lights in attack have been Davy Klaassen, Chuba Akpom, and Bertrand Traoré, who have netted twice.
  • Two players who have caught the eye of Heracles this season are Luka Kulenovic and Engels. The two players are the team's joint top scorers with two goals. Kulenovic and Engels also share the same number of match-opening goals with one each.
