NEC preview: Revenge will be on the cards after previous defeat

While NEC have won two of their last three league fixtures and three of their last four games overall, they haven't been able to be consistent this season, which is why they're currently only in 10th place in the Eredivisie standings.

When it comes to team news, Bram Nuytinck is out for sure with an injury, while Philippe Sandler is doubtful.

Predicted lineup: Roefs (GK), Pereira, Marquez, Nuytinck, Verdonk, Hoedemakers, Sano, Hansen, Gonzalez, Van Crooij & Ogawa

Ajax preview: Hoping to continue their impressive run of form in the league

With nine wins in 12 games and just one loss so far in the league, Ajax sit in third place in the Eredivisie. They are currently seven points behind PSV, but they also have a game in hand. Ajax are also doing well in the Europa League, where they have 10 points from five games, which puts them in sixth place in the standings and pretty much guarantees them a spot in the knockout stages.

Meanwhile, Julian Rijkhoff, Sivert Mannsverk, Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen, and Gaston Avila are out with injuries at the moment.

Predicted lineup: Pasveer (GK), Rensch, Sutalo, Baas, Hato, Klaassen, Henderson, Berghuis, Traore, Weghorst & Akpom

Player to watch: Danny Klassen

The experienced midfielder has contributed six goals and one assist this season, helping Ajax keep up with other top teams in the league after a disappointing last season. With that in mind, he's our player to watch against NEC as well.
