Ajax vs AEK Athens Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Ajax vs AEK Athens

A spot in the Conference League knockout stages will be at stake when Ajax and AEK Athens take on each other at Johan Cruijff Arena on Thursday evening.

The Amsterdammers have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team winning each of their last four league matches and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of AEK. Even though important first-team regular Steven Berghuis misses out through suspension, home win should be considered as Ajax have been in a fine form in December.

The Yellow-Blacks are just one point away from securing a spot in the Conference League last 32.

However, considering their challenges in away matches, there is a temptation to favor the home side. Mijat Gacinovic won’t be available for the visiting team, serving a suspension after being sent off in a 1-0 loss to Brighton.
