Ajax Amsterdam will return to Eredivisie action this weekend when they travel to take on Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday.

The capital side come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Benfica in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 clash. Sebastian Haller scored at both ends in a thrilling encounter.

Go Ahead Eagles also played out a 2-2 draw away to Twente in the league last weekend. They let a two-goal lead slip, with Joshua Brenet scoring an 89th-minute equalizer for the hosts.
