ℹ️ Team News: Ajax

Ko Itakura (unknown injury), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Knee injury), Owen Wijndal (unknown injury), Josip Sutalo (unknown injury), Oliver Edvardsen (unknown injury), Vitezslav Jaros (Knee injury), Kian Fitz-Jim (Shoulder injury) and Joeri Heerkens (Ankle injury) aren’t available for Ajax manager Óscar García.

It looks as if de Godenzonen will probably make use of the 4-3-3 formation with Maarten Paes, Anton Gaaei, Aaron Bouwman, Youri Baas, Lucas Rosa, Davy Klaassen, Youri Regeer, Jorthy Mokio, Steven Berghuis, Kasper Dolberg and Mika Godts.

📰 Team News: FC Utrecht

FC Utrecht manager Ron Jans has to currently contend with reduced team options. Victor Jensen (Knee injury), Alonzo Engwanda (Hamstring injury) and Miguel Rodríguez (Knee injury) are not ready for selection.

We believe Utreg seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Vasilios Barkas, Niklas Vesterlund, Mike van der Hoorn, Mike Eerdhuijzen, Souffian El Karouani, Siebe Horemans, Gjivai Zechiel, Yoann Cathline, Dani de Wit, Jesper Karlsson and Artem Stepanov.

🔮 Prediction

It’s likely that FC Utrecht will have to play really well to find the net against a Ajax side who look likely to dominate this match.

We’re therefore predicting a convincing 3-0 victory for Ajax when all is said and done.
