Ajax Amsterdam

Form: LDWDD

This season, the Dutch giants have been setting records, but unfortunately, they've been breaking them for all the wrong reasons. Their last match against Feyenoord in the derby saw them succumb to a shocking 6-0 defeat on the road, which was marked down on paper as their heaviest defeat in 97 years.

The Amsterdammers have recorded just two wins in their last ten matches in the Eredivisie (D5, L3), showcasing a side that has grappled with inconsistency, and it's safe to say that they have endured a dismal season where they'll miss out on the Champions League qualification for the second time in a row.

With 45 points accumulated from 29 matches, Ajax Amsterdam now sits in sixth place in the Eredivisie standings, three points ahead of the seventh-placed Go Ahead Eagles and one point behind the fifth-placed NEC Nijmegen.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Rulli; Rensch, Sutalo, Hato; Gaaei, Tahirovic, Mannsverk, Taylor; Bergwijn, Akpom; Brobbey

FC Twente

Form: WDWLW

FC Twente, on the other hand, had no trouble dispatching Fortuna Sittard 2-0 at home to extend their winning streak against the Danny Buijs team to four matches.  

They are currently on a three-match unbeaten run (W2, D1) and have lost just one of their last seven matches (W5, D1). Away from home, they are currently on a two-match winless run (L1, D1) and will be aiming to return to winning ways.

With 60 points accumulated from 29 matches, FC Twente sits in third place in the Eredivisie, eight points ahead of fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar and nine points behind second-placed Feyenoord. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Unnerstall; Sampsted, Hilgers, Propper, Regeer; Kjolo, Sadilek; Rots, Steijn, Vlap; Van Wolfswinkel
