Ajax vs Willem II team news and expert analysis
The Amsterdam giants endured a disastrous season last year, only securing a place in the Conference League through the additional play-offs. In qualifying, they eliminated Vojvodina, Shelbourne and Sion. They have also mostly been winning on the domestic front, although they drew with Heerenveen and lost at home to PSV. They have since bounced back by thrashing Fortuna Sittard 5-1.
The Tilburg club were relegated to the second tier a year ago. They finished third there but then won the promotion play-offs. Back in the Eredivisie, they only managed to pick up their first point at the third attempt, drawing with Heerenveen. It was therefore all the more surprising that they managed to secure a 1-1 draw with AZ in the latest round.
Bergwijn and his teammates are currently averaging 2.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match. The newcomers have far worse figures: just one goal scored and 2.8 conceded per game.
