Ajax held Thursday evening the Dutch honor high in Europe. PSV Heracles Almelo and Feyenoord have all three been turned off for the winter in the Champions League or Europa and AZ Thursday night was also thrown out of the tournament. Ajax did not therefore have to qualify for the next round of the Europa League and Ajax take Sunday against Heracles. The outcome of the game between Feyenoord and PSV in mind Ajax has the honor matchday 24 exit against Heracles.
Ajax: By the narrowest of margins along Legia Warsaw
Ajax Thursday night so qualified for the next round of the Europa League, but not all went as smoothly as for Ajax. Last week, Ajax were in Warsaw two great chances, but the goal from Davy Klaassen was wrongly rejected and Kasper Dolberg shot the ball hopelessly over. As well Legia Warsaw last Thursday not to a goal was scored, the pressure was so Thursday night in Amsterdam. names in a sold-out Amsterdam Arena Ajax in the first half the initiative, but the goal of the Ajax came only in the second half to score. Nick Viergever opened the score in the Amsterdam Arena and could wait too quiet after the opening goal and Ajax did. Eventually got visitors from Poland, a number of small features, but managed Ajax so narrowly to reach the next round.
After the victory over Legia Friday was the focus for Ajax in the match against Heracles. Ajax won last weekend sipping visiting Vitesse (0-1), and so have the Amsterdammers still five points behind Feyenoord. After two difficult weeks with two games against Legia and an away match in Arnhem come for Ajax in the next two weeks, at least on paper easier at times. After the home game against Heracles Ajax will deliver the clear next weekend in Groningen against FC Groningen and two games have on paper, of course, six points for Ajax.
Both against Heracles Almelo and FC Groningen is it time again to the forefront of Ajax to show themselves. In the last three games came Amin Younes, Kasper Dolberg and Bertrand Traore all three not a goal and the goals will come this season, mainly driven by the Ajax midfielders. So the middle of Amsterdam in 2017 was eight times accurately, while the three vanguard players of Ajax were only four goals. Perhaps the winter purchase David Neres can, which incidentally plays remarkably with number 77, the offensive help this season with goals, but against Legia Neres had to make do with a place on the bench.
Probable lineup Ajax
Onana; Veltman, Sánchez, Viergever, Sink Counts; Schöne, Klaassen, Ziyech; Traoré, Dolberg, Younes.
Heracles: Do stunt in Amsterdam
Almelo today they believe secretly in a stunt. The John Stegeman team performs well in February and hope to conclude Almeloërs course off this month with a surprising result in the Amsterdam Arena. The first match Heracles this month, had been won 1-3 at Willem II. Then Heraclieden played a 2-2 draw at home against Roda JC and last weekend the Almeloërs went again not avoid. In the Polman Stadium took Heraclieden up against Excelsior Rotterdam and had football on with ten men after half an hour. Heracles took advantage of the perfect numbers up situation and Stegeman saw his team eventually winning 4-0 Excelsior. Heracles did earlier this season only in the cup match against UNA (5-0) by more than three goals difference to win and thus the victory over Excelsior gave a satisfied John Stegeman: “I am happy with the four goals. In the initial phase we were indeed very difficult, but we finally have thrown the trepidation of us. ”
Ajax Heracles today affects a natural opponent of very different order than Excelsior last weekend. Last year Almeloërs grabbed a point in Amsterdam, as the game ended when a bloodless draw. Heracles captain Thomas Bruns today hopes to achieve the same result as last season. “Last year we played 0-0 at The Arena. So we go to the same result. That Bruns would be satisfied today with a draw is not surprising, because the Heraclieden knew never to win a visit to Ajax. Heracles can anyway be satisfied about the season so far. Last year the spot Heracles himself for the Europa League, but this season seems a step too high. Nevertheless Heraclieden do with 28 points from 23 matches well in the league and it will not surprise me if we find Heracles after 34 games in the top half.
Probable lineup Heracles
Castro; Pröpper, te Wierik, Hoogma, Gosens; Duarte, Pelupessy, Bruns; Kuwas, Armenteros, Peterson.
