If anyone has the hopes of scoring a goal, it is center forward Adrian Grbic, who will have to be sharp in front of goal on an afternoon when they are not expected to have many chances in front of goal.

Although he has not been able to find regularity with the Mexican national team, Edson Álvarez continues to be one of the most reliable players in Ajax's midfield, both for his good recovery and his technique, which also make him a dangerous player when it comes to joining the attack.

Vitesse wants to make a big splash as visitors but, to do so, they will have to prioritize the defensive scheme and, as a result, look for some counterattacks and set pieces to generate damage and get a positive result; last Saturday they were beaten 3-0 by Twente as visitors.

The Eredivisie leader and one of the favorites to get into the top eight of the Champions League, Ajax, will seek to avoid any kind of surprises when playing the quarterfinals at home against Vitesse, where they start as strong favorites, having a relatively simple scenario to, at least, reach the final. They are coming off a 3-0 home win over Heracles Almelo in the weekend.

The Ajax vs Vitesse match will be played at the Amsterdam Arena, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The kick-off is scheduled at 1:00 pm ET.
