Ajax vs Roma Predictions

• Roma have failed to win any of their away meetings with Serie A’s top 10
• The visitors have conceded twice in three of their last four
• Ajax have won 18 of their last 19 matches
• The hosts have won eight in a row at home

Ajax back in the mix

Ajax went through a barren spell in Europe haven gone 19 years without a place in the last four. However, they’re looking to book a third European semi-final in five seasons when they meet Roma on Thursday.

These two sides meet in the first leg of this Europa League quarter-final, with the Dutch outfit in fantastic form. Roma have had big issues against top sides, but will that spill over in this trip?

Roma’s away worries

Roma dropped points at the weekend as they drew 2-2 at Sassuolo, another setback for them at a top side. The Giallorossi are winless in their trips to Serie A’s top-half teams this season, which doesn’t bode well for them going up against an in-form Ajax.

The Italian side have won once in their last four, conceding twice in three of those matches. Roma have won just five of their last 13 away games, so we see them struggling in Amsterdam.

Ajax in stellar form

While Roma are struggling domestically, Ajax are unstoppable at the moment. Since dropping into the Europa League, they’ve won all four legs of their knockout ties. That’s part of a run of 18 wins in 19 matches for the Dutch giants, while they’ve won their last eight at home.

We’re backing Ajax for another victory in our predictions here. They’re looking too strong and Roma seem vulnerable following their mixed form. Meanwhile, we see an open game given both of these sides like to attack. A 2-1 victory for Ajax is our correct score prediction.
