Ajax

The Amsterdam side could have approached the final round as a representative of the top-8, but they unexpectedly lost in Latvia. And it can't be said that Ajax performed poorly in the meeting with RFU. Francesco Farioli's team took 13 shots, 6 of which hit the goalposts, but failed to score. As a result - 0:1. Before the meeting with Galatasaray, Ajax is in 16th place in the standings, will not go straight to the round of 16, but can fall out of the top-24 - from the 25th line of the Amsterdam team is separated by two points.

Tour in the Netherlands Ajax last weekend skipped, and before that coped on the road with Heerenveen - 2:0. The capital team is currently second in the league table, four points behind PSV, who are in first place, with one game to spare.

Galatasaray

Istanbulians in the last round of the UEFA Europa League could not win either. The team hosted Dynamo Kyiv at their stadium, and this meeting turned out to be almost the most colourful in the entire European Cup campaign. Galatasaray led 2:0 and 3:1, but failed to hold on to the victory - 3:3. Now, the team from Istanbul must win in Amsterdam to break into the top-8. Galatasaray is ninth and one point behind the eighth place.

The Istanbulians are in first place in Turkey and have a handicap of six points from the nearest pursuer, which is Fenerbahce. Last round Galatasaray defeated Konyaspor 1:0. In the 20 matches of the championship, the Lions have 17 wins and no defeats.

Expert Betting Tips

Galatasaray is still fighting for the top-8, but in the first 24 teams at the end of the tournament has already got. Ajax is at risk of not even making it to the round of 32. So the motivation of the team in the upcoming game is much higher. We believe that the one who needs more will be closer to victory, and also bet on the total of more goals scored - Galatasaray's performance in defence in the current Europa League raises big questions. The Istanbul side have conceded 14 goals in seven rounds, more than only a few teams from the bottom of the table.
