Match Preview
Vitesse, who are currently 13th in the Dutch league table with 23 points from 22 matches, have not shown consistent form this season. However, as a team that is usually ranked at the top, Vitesse certainly has the potential to surprise the big teams in the league.
Vitesse coach, Phillip Cocu, is a familiar figure in the world of football. A former player for big clubs like Vitesse and Barcelona, Cocu has extensive experience in football. However, Cocu has not been able to bring Vitesse to appear consistently this season.
Meanwhile, Ajax is a big team that is always the favorite in every game. However, this season Ajax has not been able to show its best performance. However, Ajax is still strong in competition and is ranked 3rd in the Dutch league standings with 46 points from 22 matches.
As a result of a lack of performance until mid-season, the Ajax coach, Alfred Schreuder, who replaced Erik ten Hag, was fired by the AFC Ajax manager. The latest news says John Heitinga will be appointed as the new coach of Ajax.
In this match, Vitesse will play at home. However, Ajax has a pretty impressive record away from home, being able to score goals in the last 20 away games. However, this team just lost to Union Berlin in their last match in the Europa League.

Team News
The latest update of the Vitesse team, Carlens Arcus cannot play for the team after receiving a red card in the match against Utrecht two weeks ago. Davy Propper is also out with a knee injury which kept him out for the third game in a row.
On the other hand, Ajax has a player to watch – Mohammed Kudus. The 22-year-old has scored in four of his last five matches, so he is definitely one to watch.
Playing on the sidelines of changing coaches makes Ajax have to be more vigilant, even though this will benefit Vitesse who is playing in front of thousands of supporters. Whatever the outcome, this match will certainly be interesting for football fans around the world to watch.
