Team News

Ajax
Brighton
  • Ajax will be without a quartet of players for the visit of Brighton on Thursday evening.
  • Brighton will remain without the likes of Julio Enciso, Solly March, Pervis Estupinan and Danny Welbeck for the trip to Amsterdam.
  • Jakub Moder is building up his fitness, but will be ruled out here.

Prediction

  • After the dismissal of Maurice Steijn, John van't Schip has taken charge of Ajax and brought back-to-back wins in the Eredivisie since.
  • Chuba Akpom appears to have found his feet in the Netherlands, and the Amsterdam side could put up a strong fight here.
  • Brighton are struggling for domestic form, with their last victory in any competition coming two weeks ago in the reverse fixture between these two sides.
  • The Seagulls head into this one level on points with second place AEK Athens, and could really do with a victory here if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the knockouts.
