Duel between Ajax Amsterdam & KV Mechelen is shaping to be one of those affairs where recent results gets out the window. Starting
Ajax Amsterdam’s been hot and cold, their displays fluctuating from inspired to head-scratching. Meanwhile, KV Mechelen’s fighting through a tough stretch, their defense looking porous.
