🗞️ Team News: Fortuna Sittard

The Fortuna Sittard manager Sjors Ultee has a full complement, with no fitness worries at all before this clash owing to a fully healthy squad available to choose from.

In all likelihood, Fortuna Sittard will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time featuring Yanick van Osch, Ivo Pinto, Mickael Tirpan, Dimitris Siovas, George Cox, Samy Baghdadi, Deroy Duarte, Mats Seuntjens, Arianit Ferati, Inigo Cordoba and Paul Gladon.

📋 Team News: Ajax

Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has to currently contend with reduced team options. Maarten Stekelenburg (Foot Injury) and Mohamed Ihattaren (Fitness) miss out here. Calvin Bassey cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our belief that de Godenzonen could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Remko Pasveer, Devyne Rensch, Jurrien Timber, Daley Blind, Owen Wijndal, Kenneth Taylor, Davy Klaassen, Antony, Steven Berghuis, Steven Bergwijn and Dusan Tadic.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Ajax will, in all probability, have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Fortuna Sittard will be up against it scoring- but, we do see them hitting back at some stage, too.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Ajax when all’s said and done.
