NEC will arrive at Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday for their Eredivisie showdown with Ajax. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Ajax will play in this game following on from a 1-1 Eredivisie tied result against Sparta Rotterdam. It seems likely that de Godenzonen will possibly make use of the 4-3-3 formation for the game, utilising Matheus Lima, Anton Gaaei, Josip Sutalo, Daniele Rugani, Jorrel Hato, Steven Berghuis, Davy Klaassen, Kenneth Taylor, Bertrand Traore, Brian Brobbey and O. Valaker Edvardsen.
Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen, Youri Baas and Branco van den Boomen will not be taking part for Ajax manager Francesco Farioli.
How Ajax might line up to take on NEC
In their last game, NEC drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie match with Willem II. We believe NEC could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system using Robin Roefs, Lefteris Lyratzis, Ivan Marquez, Calvin Verdonk, Thomas Ouwejan, Dirk Proper, Lars Olden Larsen, Sontje Hansen, Vito van Crooij, Kodai Sano and Koki Ogawa.
NEC boss Rogier Meijer has a number of players out of action. Dirk Proper (Head injury) and Başar Önal (unknown injury) miss out here.
