Ajax – Sparta is the third home match in a row for the Amsterdam-based team. Three days after the 0-0 draw in the UEFA Europa League against FC Union Berlin, Sparta will make their way to the Johan Cruyff ArenA. Previously, it was RKC’s turn to visit. During the home debut of John Heitinga as head coach of Ajax, the team won 3-1.

At De Toekomst, Ajax concluded a final training session. After an extensive warm-up, a few passing exercises, and several mini-games, the team put the finishing touches to their preparation.

Ajax – Sparta will be played on Sunday at 16:45 in the Johan Cruyff ArenA.

Bassey: 'It was a struggle just to keep playing'

Ajax often kept possession against FC Union Berlin, but simply failed to create many opportunities. The Germans organised their positions well and this presented John Heitinga's team with some difficulty. Defender Calvin Bassey said as much afterwards. "We were too wide, especially in the first half."
