Antony, Maarten Stekelenburg, Mohammed Kudus and Sean Klaiber are injured while Sébastien Haller is doubtful. Andre Onana made his first Ajax appearance in 10 months last week at Besiktas and could make his Eredivisie return here. Freek Heerkens and Wesley Spieringhs are missing through injury and Robbin Ruiter is a doubt.
Ajax have won 17 of their last 19 home matches against Willem II in all competitions. Ajax have kept a clean sheet in their last 6 matches (Eredivisie). Ajax have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of their last 14 home matches against Willem II in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Willem II's last 10 away games (Eredivisie). Willem II have lost their last 4 matches (Eredivisie). Ajax are undefeated in 17 of their last 18 home matches (Eredivisie).
Ajax were able to pull ahead of their championship rivals after PSV and Feyenoord dropped points while they ran out 1-0 winners at Sparta Rotterdam. It was the club's seventh consecutive clean sheet since a 1-0 home loss against Utrecht on matchday eight. Erik ten Hag's men, though, come into this week's game against Willem II in mixed form at home. Across their last three Johan Cruyff Arena league matches, they've picked up four points and they could go back-to-back home games without a win since August 2016. 2016 marked Willem II's second and most recent success in Amsterdam against the defending Eredivisie champions. The club from Tilburg are 11th in the league table after winning five times across their previous 14 outings. Fred Grim's side however come into this Thursday's game on a four-game losing streak and they've failed to win any of their seven matches, losing five. On the road Willem II have picked up just one point from the last 12 available after collecting seven from the first nine up for grabs. 2:0
