The Dutch hosts reached this stage by progressing past Ludogorets Razgrad in the playoff round, while their hosts fell short in Champions League qualifying and find themselves in Europe's second competition as a result.
he third-placed league finish was only enough to earn De Godenzonen a place in the playoff round of this year's Europa League qualifying, and Ludogorets Razgrad stood in their way, but the Dutch outfit were able to carry a healthy lead into their home leg thanks to a 4-1 victory in Bulgaria.
Mohammed Kudus starred in that away trip in late August with a hat-trick, alongside a Brian Brobbey goal, before Olivier Verdon pulled one back for their opponents, and despite suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat in the return leg in Amsterdam, with Matias Tissera netting the only goal on the hour mark, Maurice Steijn's side had done enough to book their place in the group.
Steijn stepped into the hot seat at the Johan Cruyff ArenA over the summer and has overseen another tough Eredivisie start for the Dutch giants, who sit on just five points after four outings, having starting with a victory over Heracles only to play out disappointing draws with Excelsior and Fortuna Sittard before most recently suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of FC Twente at the weekend, as Brobbey pulled the game back to 2-1 in the first half, only for Naci Unuvar to re-establish the hosts' cushion 11 minutes from time.
