There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the De Graafschap boss Marinus Dijkhuizen to contend with from an otherwise complete group. Stan Wevers (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
🔮

When taking all factors into account, De Graafschap will probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
Conversely, Jong Ajax could well find it tough getting goals but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 win for De Graafschap when all’s said and done.
