Almere City preview: Damage limitation
In all honesty, defeating Ajax looks a near impossible task for De Zwarte Schapen. Almere have just two wins in their last 14 outings.
Last time out saw them lose 2-1 to Feyenoord, with a 91st minute winner from David Hancko.
Almere will also be without Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp, Theo Barbet and Alex Carbonell for this one.
Predicted lineup: Bakker (GK); Akujobi, Visus, Lawrence; Zagaritis, Haye, Tahiri; Hansen, Robinet Providence; Brym

Ajax preview: Will they make it nine in a row?
Ajax look to have finally found their groove again after a rocky few seasons. The Amsterdam club's eight consecutive wins in the league have propelled them above rivals PSV.
The latest victory was a 2-0 win over the impressive Go Ahead Eagles, with goals from Brian Brobbey and Oliver Edvarsen.
Their record is all the more impressive, when one considers they have nine players out injured at present.
Predicted lineup: Matheus (GK); Gaaei, Kaplan, Baas, Hato; Mokio, Klaassen, Taylor; Berghuis, Brobbey, Edvardsen

Player to watch: Brian Brobbey
Our man to watch in this one is Ajax's Brian Brobbey, who seems to have taken the upper hand in his battle with Wout Weghorst to be Ajax's number nine.
Brobbey has scored three in his last four appearances, and will back himself to add another to his tally against rock-bottom Almere.
