Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen (Ankle injury), Branco van den Boomen (Back injury), Oliver Edvardsen (Knee injury) and Youri Baas (Groin injury) aren’t available for Ajax gaffer Francesco Farioli.

We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Ajax when all is said and done. It should be a decent one.
