Marseille vs Ajax Predictions

• Both teams have scored in three of Ajax’s four Europa League matches this season.
• Ajax have conceded 13 goals in their last four away games but have scored seven at the other end.

Marseille target top spot

Marseille can secure a spot in the Europa League knockout rounds with a win over Ajax and they should manage to get the three points against an Ajax side in transition.

Les Phoceens sit top of Group B with two games left to play and are yet to lose in the competition, although their struggles domestically suggest that the visitors could trouble the home side’s defence.

Back goals at Stade Orange Velodrome

John van’t Schip was appointed manager of Ajax at the end of October after de Godenzonen won just two of their opening 13 games in all competitions and while he has got the Dutch giants firing again, not all their problems have been solved.

They have won three, drawn one and lost one of their five games since van’t Schip’s arrival and find themselves bottom of the group in the Europa League.

Ajax have conceded some 13 goals in their last four away games but have scored two goals in each of their last two trips. With Marseille conceding six times in four Europa League games and the reverse fixture ending 3-3 in Amsterdam, backing both teams to score is advised along with a high-scoring 3-2 win for the hosts.
