Ajax vs AEK Athens 14.12.2023 Prediction: UEFA Europa League

Match Overview

AEK Athens travel to Amsterdam to take on Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena in a match in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. This match will be contested heavily by the two sides given that they are quite well-matched in a lot of aspects. Ajax will feel that they can get the better of their opponents given how well they perform at home, but Athens will not want to give up easily.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of three games played between these two teams, out of which the home team have won two. The one other game was played out as a drawn encounter. Athens will feel distraught regarding the fact that they have not been able to beat Ajax ever in the past, but there is always a first time for everything. 

Injury Report

Ajax have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Mika Godts, Jay Gorter and Remko Pasveer among others. Paolo Fernandes and Jens Jonsson is among a few players missing out for Athens.

Prediction

Ajax appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. They have kept a clean sheet in two of the three matches that they have played against Athens in the past, and one can expect them to do the same here as well. We expect Ajax to win this game by quite a comfortable margin. Athens do not have the defensive strength to compete against their hosts.
