Ajax will invite Monaco to the Johan Cruijff ArenA in a friendly on Sunday. The hosts will conclude their preseason with this match, while Les Monégasques will take on Inter Milan next week.
de Godenzonen have endured a busy preseason thus far, playing seven games. They suffered their first loss in that period last week as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Como. They failed to score for the first time in the preseason and will look to bounce back in this home game.
The visitors have played six games in the preseason thus far. They played Torino twice earlier this week and registered 3-1 wins in both games. Folarin Balogun, Kassoum Ouattara, and Yann Lienard scored in the second match, while Mika Biereth, Lamine Camara, and Alexsandr Golovin were on the scoresheet in the first match.
