Ajax Team News
In the previous round of the Eredivisie, Ajax defeated Heerenveen at home with 4:1. By the 42nd minute of the game, the home team had a doubled advantage, with goals from Steven Bergwijn and Brian Brobbey, and the guests managed to reduce the advantage until the end of the half. However, at the end of the game, Chuba Akpom put an end to this match with two goals.
Ajax occupies only the 11th position in the table with the same number of points, even 15 less than the fourth-placed Twente. Before the match with Heerenven, Ajax also triumphed over Volendam but was without a win in ten competitive games in a row. In the Europa League, they are currently in last place with two points won.
Coach John Van ‘t Schip should see no need to disrupt the harmony of a winning team, but the experienced Borna Sosa is a candidate to replace academy product Arjan Martha on the left flank. Ajax striker Steven Bergwijn was a little off after being substituted at the Amex Stadium two weeks ago. Still, the former Tottenham player has overcome the injury and should start on the left side of Ajax’s attack alongside Brian Brobbey and Steven Berghuis unless Chuba Akpomov the double hit does not put his name in Van ‘t Schip’s consideration.
Four players from Amsterdam are still struggling with injuries. Geronimo Rulli, Sivert Mannsverk, Jay Gorter and Amourricho van Axel Dongen look set to miss the Seagulls clash.

Brighton Team News
In the last competitive match, Brighton played away to Everton 1:1. The home team took the lead in the seventh minute, and in the 14th, the visiting team equalized through Lewis Dunk, however, the goal was disallowed after the VAR decision. The tie came only in the 84th minute, with an own goal by a home team player, and after that, they failed to completely turn the score in their favor.
They currently occupy the seventh position in the league table with 18 points, four less than the fifth-placed Aston Villa, while they are tied for second place with AEK in the Europa League. In the last six competitive matches, they recorded one win and one loss, as well as four draws.
Coach Roberto De Zerbi also has several injury concerns to consider for the next game, including Solly March, Julio Enciso, and Jakub Moder, who all have knee injuries. However, the last mentioned is at least starting to gain some physical fitness with the younger categories. Danny Welbeck is also expecting a longer recovery period from the injury he picked up at the end of October, and De Zerbi is not optimistic about Pervis Estupinan’s chances of returning before November, before the international break.
The Seagulls manager has not been afraid to rotate his resources to deal with the challenges of the Premier League and Europa League, and the expected changes should see Ansu Fati and Joao Pedro return to attack as they aim to threaten Ajax’s defense again.

Ajax vs Brighton Prediction
Although Brighton is the favorite in this match due to their match, their form, and the state of the table, we believe that it will not be so easy to win because Ajax has finally tied two triumphs, and they are playing in their stadium. However, we believe that both teams will score at least one goal each, and we give a slight advantage to the visiting team. Therefore, our betting suggestion is a draw or a win for Brighton, as well as a goal for both teams.
