    • Rating: season rating out of 10; players without one yet show a dash. ★ marks a player this side particularly relies on.

    Team News

    • Danny Buijs is missing Kristoffer Peterson, Iván Márquez, Sven Simons and Siebe Wylin, yet has enough consistency to keep the majority of the side that triumphed in The Hague.

    • Mattijs Branderhorst is expected to play behind Philip Brittijn, Rodrigo Guth and Justin Hubner, with Édouard Michut positioned just in front of the back three. This setup should enable Fortuna to defend tightly before swiftly unleashing their offensive players.

    • Ihattaren has been outstanding following his two-goal, one-assist display against ADO. He and Zeefuik have each scored three league goals, while Michut has provided two assists and remains crucial when Fortuna aim to play through the initial press.

    • Anthony Descotte and Zeefuik are likely to spearhead the attack, with Ivo Pinto and Jasper Dahlhaus offering width. Although Fortuna are not expected to control possession against Ajax, they should have chances whenever the visitors push forward.

    • Míchel is without Daley Blind, Rayane Bounida, Simon Adingra and Aaron Bouwman, with Bouwman out of action due to a lung contusion suffered against PSV.

    • Marc-André ter Stegen is likely to remain in goal ahead of Anton Gaaei, Thilo Kehrer, Youri Baas and Caio Henrique. Kehrer is set to start after making his debut from the substitutes' bench last weekend and will be responsible for bringing experience to a revamped defence.

    • Sofyan Amrabat might line up for his first match as a starter alongside Davy Klaassen and Julian Brandt in the midfield. His defensive shielding skills could be crucial against a Fortuna team that has been highly effective in attacks following turnovers.

    • In the forward areas, Steven Berghuis, Arokodare, and Oscar Gloukh are likely to occupy the front three positions. Arokodare netted Ajax’s goal in the PSV clash, while Berghuis continues to be their top creator from wide positions.

    Odds

    Fortuna Sittard Win: 6.25

    DRAW: 5.50

    • Aaron Bouwman is out for Ajax — index 7.0, against 8.9 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

    • The projected score for this one is Fortuna Sittard 2 - 2 Ajax, a draw with 4 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.

    • The read: Ajax at 1.40 is heavily fancied away from home. Backing a favourite at that price only makes sense on the handicap.
