ℹ️ Team News: FC Twente

The FC Twente boss Joseph Oosting will be grateful to have no fitness concerns whatsoever before this match owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from.

In our view, De Tukkers will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Lars Unnerstall, Alfons Sampsted, Max Bruns, Robin Propper, Youri Regeer, Michal Sadilek, Mathias Kjoeloe, Daan Rots, Sem Steijn, Michel Vlap and Manfred Ugalde.

ℹ️ Team News: Ajax

Ajax boss Maurice Steijn has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Remko Pasveer (Hand fracture), Ahmetcan Kaplan (Torn knee ligament) and Gerónimo Rulli (Shoulder Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that de Godenzonen could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Jay Gorter, Devyne Rensch, Josip Sutalo, Jorrel Hato, Gaston Avilla, B. van den, Benjamin Tahirovic, Kristian Hlynsson, Steven Berghuis, Carlos Borges and Georges Mikautadze.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Ajax and FC Twente may find themselves both scoring more than one goal each in what promises to be a fairly balanced contest.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw but we do expect to see goals at each end. We’re therefore predicting a highly competitive game with a 2-2 score at the end of the 90 minutes.
