Sunday is one of the Eredivisie’s most important matches of the year: Ajax – Feyenoord. The first of the two “Klassiekers” from this season will take place in the Johan Cruijff Arena. This game will be played for the 64th time in Amsterdam and All About Ajax takes a look at the past 63 games.
The first-ever Ajax – Feyenoord played in Amsterdam was in the season 1956/1957 and Ajax took the win by 1-0 by a goal from Willy Schmidt. In total, 63 Klassiekers have been played in Amsterdam and Ajax managed to win 36 of those with only losing 11 and 16 times the game ended in a draw. Ajax scored 145 goals in these 64 matches with Feyenoord only scoring 68.

Feyenoord’s biggest win in Amsterdam is 1-3 which they manage to do 4 times. The most recent 1-3 win was more than 30 years ago in the season 1986/1987.
The last 13 seasons Ajax remained unbeaten during de Klassieker in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The latest Feyenoord win in Amsterdam was on 28 August 2005 when Feyenoord won by 1-2 by goals from Salomon Kalou and Dirk Kuyt. Angelos Charisteas managed to score the 1-2 but it wasn’t enough to secure a point that day.
