Brighton vs Ajax preview

The Europa League group action continues with the Ajax vs Brighton live stream. It takes place in the grand setting of the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, and it should be a fascinating encounter.

Brighton claimed their first-ever European win in the reverse fixture last month. Their progressive, attacking brand of football was too much for an Ajax side having a terrible season. They will undoubtedly try to bring that to this game, although away trips in Europe are always more challenging. The Seagulls also remain beset by injuries but have Pervis Estupiñán and Adam Webster back to the bench.

The home side have more European pedigree than their opponents, but not much has gone right for them so far this season. They sit eleventh in the Eredivisie, having only recently moved away from the drop zone. Ajax were heavily exposed on the British south coast but have managed a couple of wins under new boss John van 't Schip and will be keen to keep that honeymoon period going in front of their own fans. There is also a goal threat in the form of former Spurs forward Steven Bergwijn.

Here's how they line up:

Brighton: Verbruggen, Milner, Dunk (c), Van Hecke, Veltman, Gross, Dahoud, Fati, Adingra, Pedro, Mitoma

Ajax: Ramaj, Gaaei, Sutalo, Rensch, Hato, Taylor, Vos, Hlynsson, Bergwijn (c), Brobbey, Berghuis

How to watch Europa League football from outside your country

We've set out how you can live stream Europa League football in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling, you probably won't be able to watch the competition like you normally would at home. This is the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.

A good streaming VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while also offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. They're also very easy to use.
