Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Den Bosch gaffer Ulrich Landvreugd to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Sebastian Karlsson Grach (unknown injury) will miss out.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Den Bosch should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

In contrast, Jong Ajax could well find it tough to score although we do think it’s probable that they will be scoring.

We’re therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Den Bosch at the end of the match.
