📋 Team News: Feyenoord

Antoni Milambo (unknown injury), Gernot Trauner (Hamstring injury), Justin Bijlow (Calf injury), Gjivai Zechiël (Knee injury) and Quilindschy Hartman (Cruciate ligament tear) are unavailable for Feyenoord boss Arne Slot.

It looks as if De club aan de Maas will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this game, utilising Timon Wellenreuther, Bart Nieuwkoop, Thomas Beelen, Lutsharel Geertruida, David Hancko, Calvin Stengs, Mats Wieffer, Quinten Timber, Yankuba Minteh, Santiago Gimenez and Igor Paixao.

📋 Team News: Ajax

Ajax manager John van 't Schip has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Josip Sutalo (Knock), Steven Berghuis (Knee injury), Gastón Ávila (Knee injury), Jordan Henderson (Muscle injury) and Diant Ramaj (Elbow injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that de Godenzonen appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Geronimo Rulli, Devyne Rensch, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Jorrel Hato, Anton Gaaei, Kenneth Taylor, S. H. Mannsverk, Benjamin Tahirovic, Kristian Hlynsson, Steven Bergwijn and Mika Godts.
