AFC Ajax travel to face Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie on Saturday evening. Manager Maurice Steijn's side are looking to get back on track following their 1-3 home defeat to rivals PSV Eindhoven last weekend.
The Amsterdam club currently sit eighth in the league table with seven points from their opening four matches. Their recent form shows three wins, a draw, and that solitary loss to PSV. Their next fixture comes quickly, as they host Willem II at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Tuesday.
Line-up
In the last match against PSV, Steijn opted for a 4-3-3 formation. Goalkeeper Maarten ter Stegen was protected by a defence of Anton Gaaei, the injured Aaron Bouwman, Youri Baas and Caio Henrique. The midfield trio consisted of Davy Klaassen, Jorrel Mokio and Julian Brandt, with Steven Berghuis, Tolu Arokodare and Oscar Gloukh leading the attack. Arokodare scored Ajax's only goal in that defeat.
Fortuna Sittard approach this match with confidence. The Limburg side have won their last two league games, away at ADO Den Haag and Groningen. Manager Danny Buijs deployed a 5-3-2 system in those matches with Mike Branderhorst in goal. Ajax's current squad list is available on our squad page, which also includes the latest injury news.
The match at Fortuna Sittard Stadion kicks off at 20:00 local time. A victory would provide a timely boost for Ajax ahead of their home game against Willem II. The full schedule of upcoming matches can be viewed on the fixtures page.
