Ajax coach Míchel has made a few changes to his team, with Lucas Rosa being replaced by Anton Gaaei at right-back. Aaron Bouwman and Youri Baas will form the heart of the defence, alongside Caio Henrique at left-back.

Youri Regeer's injury against FC Sion has led to him being replaced by Jorthy Mokio in the midfield, where Davy Klaassen and Julian Brandt will complete the trio. Tolu Arokodare's two goals against FC Sion have seen Marcos Leonardo left out of the starting line-up, with Steven Berghuis and Abdellah Ouazane tasked with providing width from the flanks.

Ajax had a week off from Eredivisie action due to European commitments, while Telstar suffered a 1-3 defeat to Sparta Rotterdam two weeks ago.
