Ajax will play hosts to Roma in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.
Preview
This one is definetly the standout fixture of the upcoming EL matchday as Ajax have gone 24 matches unbeaten across all competitions - 21 victories and three draws. What's more, the current Eredivisie champions have won each of their last eight games at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, including a 5-0 thrashing of Den Haag before last month's international break.
Roma, for their part, haven't been at their best lately as Paulo Fonseca's will be travelling to Amsterdam on the back of a 2-0 loss to Napoli and most recently a 2-2 draw at Sassuolo. The latest Serie A results had sent the Giallorossi into the seventh spot in the table.
Team news
Ajax's third-choice goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen is set to start on Thursday as Maarten Stekelenburg (injury) and Andre Onana (doping offence) are both unavailable. Noussair Mazraoui, Daley Blind, Perr Schuurs and Sean Klaiber are also set to sit out the upcoming clash due to various reasons. Roma, meanwhile, will be without Stephan El Shaarawy, Marash Kumbulla, Chris Smalling, Rick Karsdorp, Nicolo Zaniolo and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Prediction
Given all the injury absentees in Roma's squad, we'd say that Ajax look to be hot favourites to start off their tie with Roma by a home victory. Erik ten Hag's side have been absolutely phenomenal this season when it comes to their attacking power but their defensive strength is a rather questionable. Therefore, let's stick with BTTS in this one.
Tip
Ajax to win or draw and both teams to score at 2.01 with 1XBET.
