Ajax vs Union Berlin Prediction: Expect a Draw

Ajax will try to stop the well-formed Union from Berlin. The German team has not had a single defeat in the last 11 matches in all competitions and continues to breathe down the neck of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Will Urs Fischer's side once again be able to demonstrate their defensive skills on the European stage?

Ajax

Ajax played in the Champions League this campaign. The Amsterdam side was not so lucky in the group. The opponents were Rangers, but the Scots did not get a single point and finished in last place. The goal difference was a shocking 2:22. Ajax finished the group stage in third place, losing to the formidable Napoli and Liverpool, who were still in good condition at the time. As for their current form, the club has won four straight, including over Twente - reaching the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup. However, in the Eredivisie, the reigning champions are only in third place, behind Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar.

Union Berlin

In the Europa League group stage, the team performed at a high level and took second place. They lacked only one point to equalize on points with Belgian Gillouise. It is worth highlighting the defensive play of Urs Fischer's team - only two conceded goals in six games on the European stage. Union approaches the playoffs with a winning streak of 11 meetings and continues to pursue the leading Bundesliga side Bayern closely - second place and a gap of just one point.

Expert Betting Tips

The statistics speak in favor of Ajax. In the UEFA playoffs, Ajax faced the German teams 12 times (precisely of the two games). According to the results of these confrontations, Ajax advanced to the next stage ten times, aware of these figures in the Berlin representatives' location. Union will act more like the second number, but the team has a well-coordinated action in defense, so Ajax will not easily score a goal in the native walls. In this meeting, we suggest considering a draw. We do not rule out a draw with less than three goals scored.
