Ajax vs Jagiellonia Bialystok Predictions

• Ajax won the first leg 4-1.
• Jagiellonia have lost their last five games.
• Jagiellonia have scored in nine of their 10 games this season.

Ajax looking set for Europa

Ajax host Poland’s Jagiellonia in the second leg of their Europa League qualifying play-off on Thursday holding a commanding 4-1 lead.

The Amsterdam giants are a short price to win and the handicap markets offer little appeal, with Ajax just above evens with a -2 handicap.

The visitors were outclassed in the first leg but have to go for it here and will probably want to try and salvage some pride, so backing a home win with both teams to score looks the best option at the current prices.

Jagiellonia have lost their last five games but have scored in the last four of those – and they have only failed to score in one of their 10 games in all competitions.

Ajax started the season with four wins and three clean sheets but they have now conceded in each of their last three, so a consolation strike for the visitors could be on the agenda.

Ajax are a team that tend not to ease off so they may be able to go one better than their win in the first leg and a 5-1 win for the hosts is the correct score pick.

Chuba Akpom has struggled in the Eredivisie and isn’t a guaranteed starter in the league, but he hit a hat-trick in the first leg and should be involved from the off on Thursday so he appeals as a potential anytime scorer.
