The line-up of Ajax for the Champions League match against Besiktas is known. Erik ten Hag opts, as announced by various media shortly before the match, for André Onana under the bar. As a result, Remko Pasveer starts on the bench. Furthermore, the trainer is making several changes compared to his line-up against RKC Waalwijk (0-5 victory) on Sunday. The match starts on Wednesday evening at 6.45 pm in the Vodafone Park.
Onana gets a chance under the bar at Ajax for the first time since his doping suspension. The last time the Cameroonian international played an official match in the shirt of the team from Amsterdam was on January 31. Onana has already been under the bar twice with the national team of Cameroon. According to the newspaper, Perr Schuurs is preferred in the heart of the defense over Jurriën Timber, who is struggling with minor hamstring complaints.
In the left back position, Nicolás Tagliafico does the honors for Daley Blind. The middle line is formed by Ryan Gravenberch, Davy Klaassen and Steven Berghuis. Edson Álvarez is missing due to a suspension, which he received after he encountered his second yellow card of the Champions League season in the game against Borussia Dortmund.
Furthermore, Tadic will give substance to the striker position at the expense of Sébastien Haller. Mohamed Daramy is posted on the left winger, while David Neres will attack from the right. The latter thus takes over the starting spot from Antony, who gets rest from Ten Hag. Ajax has already secured a place in the next round of the Champions League, while Besiktas still has a minimal chance of finishing third in the group.
Line-up Besiktas: will follow asap
Ajax setup: onana; Mazraoui, Schuurs, Martinez, Tagliafico; Gravenberch, Berghuis, Klaassen; Neres, Tadic, Daramy.
