Ajax vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Europa League Predictions
Galatasaray will be hoping to sneak directly into the Round of 16 of the Europa League when they travel to the Johan Cruijff Arena to face Ajax on matchday eight this Thursday. De Godenzonen are in 16th place while Cimbom are ninth heading into the final match of the League Phase in the competition. Check out our match prediction below!
After a shock defeat in Latvia last week, Ajax cannot crack the top eight in the League Phase of the Europa League and are in a tricky spot, two points above 25th-placed Porto - the first team below the cutoff. However, with a healthy +7 goal difference, a draw will almost certainly guarantee them qualification to the intermediary round.
Gala, on the other hand, are one point below four teams in fifth to eighth place currently locked on 14 points, and a victory could see them move into the top eight. They cannot be eliminated from the competition even if they lose here.

Ajax - Galatasaray: Form Analysis
Ajax were dealt a hammer blow last week when they were edged 1-0 by Rigas FS on the road, which brought an end to their hopes of qualifying directly to the last 16 of the competition.
That result was also de Godenzonen’s third successive defeat in this competition - a notable dip after taking 10 points from their first four games (W3 D1 L0) and scoring 13 goals in that time.
The hosts lost their last Europa League home game to Lazio, but have not lost consecutive home matches in the same season of this competition since 2009-10.
Ajax have won 11 of their last 13 matches against Turkish opposition across all competitions!
Meanwhile, Galatasaray have failed to win any of their last five European matches (including qualifiers) against Dutch opposition since beating PSV 2-0 in the Champions League in 2001.
However, Cimbom have been in very good shape in this competition this season, currently one of only three teams still in possession of an unbeaten record heading into the final matchday (W3 D4 L0).
The visitors have also avoided defeat in their last 26 games across all competitions. They last lost a match against Young Boys during Champions League qualification back in August.

Gala will be without two players for this trip to Amsterdam, with Mauro Icardi ruled out for the remainder of the season, while Hakim Ziyech has not featured for the club since mid-December.
The Morocco international has been the subject of major transfer speculation in recent days, with Ligue 1’s Lille and UAE outfit Al-Nasr both credited with an interest in his services.
