Lille vs Ajax Predictions

• Lille have won seven of their last eight games
• Ajax have been weakened since last season and have major absentees here
• The visitors have lost their last four Europa League away knockout clashes

Lille to make big statement

Lille lost both of their clashes with Ajax last season, but they can send out a message with a victory over the Dutch side in France this week.

The hosts have won seven of their last eight games, while they picked up big victories in the group stage including a 3-0 victory away to AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Ajax head here weakened by the loss of Hakim Ziyech, the suspension of Andre Onana and the ineligibility of Sebastien Haller. They may be blooding new young stars, but the Dutch side look more vulnerable in Europe this term.

Ajax have lost five of their last six away UEFA Europa League knockout matches (D1), losing each of their last four in a row. With Lille looking stronger we can see them continuing a promising season with a victory here. On top of that, we’re backing a 2-1 win for Lille.
