ℹ️ Team News: Ajax

It’s our opinion that de Godenzonen look set to kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this game, utilising Maarten Paes, Anton Gaaei, Ko Itakura, Youri Baas, Lucas Rosa, Youri Regeer, Jorthy Mokio, Davy Klaassen, Steven Berghuis, Wout Weghorst and Mika Godts.

📰 Team News: FC Groningen

FC Groningen manager Dick Lukkien has a number of players out of action. Oskar Zawada (Arm injury) and Stije Resink (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Trots van het Noorden could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Etienne Vaessen, Marco Rente, Thijmen Blokzijl, Dies Janse, Marvin Peersman, Tika de Jonge, Tygo Land, David van der Werff, Younes Taha, Jorg Schreuders and Thom van Bergen.

💭 Prediction

It’s likely that FC Groningen will need to be at their best to be scoring even one goal against a Ajax lineup who should really boss this match.

We’re tipping a 3-0 winning margin for Ajax at the end of this one.
