Ajax vs AEK Prediction: Can the Amsterdam players cope with the Greeks?

Prediction for the UEFA Europa League match which will take place on December 14. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

By the middle of the season, Ajax had improved their game and were not just out of the relegation zone, as they were at the start of the season, but were fifth in the Dutch league, nine points away from the top three. They have won the previous four rounds with a combined score of 12:4.

In the Europa League, Ajax failed to improve their position in the standings - before the final round, the team from Amsterdam was in last place in the group. However, by beating AEK in the upcoming game, Ajax will still qualify for the Europa League play-offs.

The team, unlike Ajax, has not had any major upsets this season, and at the moment, after 13 rounds in the Greek league, they are in second place with only one point behind the leader Panathinaikos. Note that the team has conceded only nine goals in 13 national championship matches.

In the Europa League, AEK started the group well - an away win over Brighton (3:2) and a home draw with Ajax (1:1). But three consecutive defeats followed. As a result, only a minimum draw in Amsterdam will allow the Greeks to stay in third place and qualify for the Conference League play-offs.

Ajax has conceded at least once in 15 of their last 17 matches, and while AEK don't have a goal of scoring in Amsterdam, the Greeks will certainly manage to score, maybe more than once. At the same time, Ajax have added a lot to their attack in the middle of the season, so a goal from Amsterdam looks like a logical outcome, especially given the tournament situation. They will have to take risks and open up.
