Ajax coach Frank de Boer will have to make do without the services of holding midfielder Eyong Enoh due to suspension.

Additionally, striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson is unavailable because of a fractured ankle, while full-back Nicolai Boilesen is unlikely to feature due to a hamstring problem.

Feyenoord boss Ronald Koeman will be without left-back Kaj Ramsteijn as the Netherlands Under-21 starlet is out of action due to a knee injury.

Furthermore, back-up goalkeeper Darley won't feature because of a knee injury, while defenders Bart Schenkeveld and Gill Swerts are still sidelined, too.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Ajax have yet to keep a clean sheet this Eredivisie campaign.
  • The Godenzonen have won their last four competitive games against Feyenoord.   
  • Serbian winger Miralem Sulejmani is his side's leading goalscorer with six goals.
  • The Amsterdam ArenA club have not won in their last four league matches.
  • Feyenoord lost their previous away game against AZ, 2-1.
  • Striker John Guidetti is the Rotterdam giants' leading goalscorer with four strikes, all of which came from spot-kicks.
  • The visitors have conceded only nine goals so far in 2011-12.
  • Nine different Feyenoord players have found the net so far this season.

Prediction
It's been quite a while since Feyenoord got a positive result in Amsterdam and they face a difficult task to get one on Sunday. The hosts will be determined to return to winning ways in the Eredivisie after a few disappointing results and they'll be high on confidence following their Champions League win in midweek. The visitors' lack of experience in combination with the individual quality of the Ajax attack makes the home side the clear favourites.
Editor's Prediction
Ajax 2-1 Feyenoord
