Ajax has made a strong comeback after a poor start to the season.
Ajax has turned a relegation position into a spot for European competitions.

Ajax has turned things around after a historically poor start to the season. In the first 6 matches, they were below the relegation zone with only 5 points, experiencing a turbulent time with significant dissatisfaction from the fans, resulting in a coaching change and alterations in the sporting management. Over the last twelve matches, they have accumulated 26 points and are undefeated in the last 10 games. This remarkable turnaround has propelled them to the 5th position in the league, now trailing the top 3 and Champions League spots by only 6 points.

Ajax in the Eredivisie 2023/24: 
◉ 18 games 
◉ 9 wins 
◉ 4 draws
◉ 5 defeats  
◉ 42 goals scored 
◉ 33 goals conceded 
◉ 31 points 

They have reignited their offense, especially with Brian Brobbey showcasing excellent form with 9 goals and 1 assist in the last 8 matches.

◉ 28 shots on target 
◉29 chances created 

The significant issue for Ajax at the moment is the defense. They have conceded 33 goals in the league, which is among the highest of all teams, and looking at their last 9 matches in all competitions, they have not kept a clean sheet. The championship is out of reach, and they have played their role in European and cup competitions, so the goal for the season should be to finish in the top three and secure Champions League football next season. Considering the situation Ajax was in at the beginning of the season, it's impressive that they have mounted such a comeback and potentially contend for top positions in the league.
