Team Information, Preview, and Ajax vs Heracles Lineups
Ajax
There were a lot of changes at Ajax this summer including the new coach Maurice Steijn. Like it's usually the case, some players were sold like Jurrien Timber, and Calvin Bassey, and some left on a free transfer like long-time captain Dusan Tadic. The newest additions are, among others, Carlos Forbs, Branco van den Boomen, Diant Ramaj, Benjamin Tahirovic, and Jakov Medic. Steven Berghuis is suspended for the first game of the season. Remko Pasveer, Ahmetcan Kaplan, and Amourricho van Axel Dongen are doubtful to play.
Possible lineup: Rulli, Rensch, Aertssen, Hato, Salah-Eddine, Taylor, Tahirovic, Kudus, Klaassen, Bergwijn, Brobbey.
Heracles
The newest member of the Eredivisie will be aiming to keep its status in the top division. Heracles brought some players on free transfers and should hope that will be enough for the team in their fight to avoid relegation. Justin Hoogma is facing a fitness test ahead of the game.
Possible lineup: Brouwer, Cestic, Sonnenberg, Willems, Wieckhoff, De Keersmaecker, Bruns, Ouahim, Hansson, Laursen, Satriano.
Player to Watch: Carlos Forbs
The highly valued Manchester City youth academy has produced another talented player that the club sold, this time to Ajax. Carlos Forbs is a 19-year-old Portuguese winger who has been the most expensive summer signing for the Amsterdam outfit. He proved himself playing for Man City's U21 team scoring 26 goals and delivering 13 assists in 38 matches.
When we look at his total numbers playing for the Etihad youth teams, his goalscoring prowess is impressive. While playing in 79 games, he has gotten on the scoresheet 55 times while assisting on 42 occasions. Forbs will be a welcomed addition to Ajax who failed to qualify for the Champions League last season.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
