In their latest match, Ajax Amsterdam managed to defeat AEK Athens 3-1 at home on the last match day of the Europa League group stage campaign, and despite finishing third in Group B, they secured their place in the Europa Conference League knockout round play-offs.

Prior to that, the Amsterdammers beat Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 at home in the fifteenth round of the Eredivisie, bringing their winning run to four matches. Despite a mediocre managerial CV, John van 't Schip's appointment as interim manager has been highly beneficial in recent weeks, winning six of their last seven matches, not to mention that they are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run.

With 24 points collected from 15 matches played, Ajax Amsterdam sit fifth in the Eredivisie standings, two points ahead of the sixth-placed Go Ahead Eagles and nine points behind a European football spot.

Formation: 4-3-3

PEC Zwolle, on the other hand, has no European football adventures to report on; however, they did have a chance to clinch silverware this season if it weren't for their 1-0 flop against Amsterdamsche FC in the first round of the KNVB beker on November 1st.

Their latest match in the league was a disappointing 3-1 defeat at the hands of NEC Nijmegen at home, although this follows a morale-boosting 5-0 away win over FC Volendam. PEC Zwolle have won two of their last six league matches (L3 D1) and will be in need of a win in this one to reignite their confidence.

With 17 points collected from 15 matches played, PEC Zwolle occupy the 11th spot in the Eredivisie standings, one point ahead of 12th-placed Excelsior and 13th-placed FC Utrecht and two points adrift of ninth place.

Formation: 4-5-1
