AZ Alkmaar-Ajax, the probable formations

Ajax challenges'AZ Alkmaar in the round of 16 of the Netherlands Cup. Kickoff at 6:45 p.m. at the AFAS Stadion. Complicated trip for the Lancers, who, in order to reach the quarterfinals of the KNVB Beker, will have to take revenge with the hosts, who won in the last direct clash between the two teams 2-1 in Eredevisie just over a month ago.

Martens has to contend with the injured Lahdo and van Bommel, although the latter should grit his teeth and start from the 1' in attack. Midfield entrusted to Mijnans, defense headed by Goes and Penetra.

In defense, despite Sutalo’s recovery, Farioli should make no changes with Rensch, Rugani, Baas and Hato in front of Pasveer. In midfield, Fitz-Jim will replace Klaassen, while in attack Berghuis is expected to rest, giving way to Traoré 

Probable lineups

AZ Alkmaar (4-3-3): Owusu-Oduro; Maikuma, Goes, Penetra, Wolfe; Koopmeiners, Mijnans, Clasie; Poku, Meerdink, Van Bommel. All. Martens

Ajax (4-3-3): Pasveer; Rensch, Rugani, Baas, Hato; Fitz-Jim, Henderson, Taylor; Traoré, Weghorst, Godts. All. Farioli
