As part of the sixth round of the UEFA Europa League, a match between Ajax and Lazio will take place. The game is scheduled for Thursday, December 12, in Amsterdam, with kickoff at 21:00 CET. I suggest betting on the match's scoring potential.
Match Preview
Ajax lost their previous Europa League match against Real Sociedad but had secured three dominant victories and a draw before that. The Amsterdam club is a serious contender for a spot in the top 8 and aims to solidify this claim in the upcoming home game.
In the Eredivisie, the club is unlikely to contend for the title, as the gap from PSV is significant. However, securing a Champions League spot for the next season seems like an achievable goal.
Lazio, on the other hand, surprisingly failed to beat Bulgarian side Ludogorets in their last away match, dropping points in European competitions for the first time. Despite this, Marco Baroni's team remains at the top of the group standings.
Domestically, the "Eagles" are also performing well. Last week, Lazio defeated Napoli twice—eliminating them from the Coppa Italia and then triumphing in a Serie A clash.
Match Facts
- Ajax has won only one of their last four matches.
- Lazio has suffered just one defeat in their previous 11 games.
- Ajax averages 2.6 goals per game at home, while Lazio averages 2 goals per game in away matches.
Probable Lineups
- Ajax: Pasveer, Geertruida, Sutalo, Bassey, Hato, Van den Boomen, Klaassen, Taylor, Brobbey, Akpom, Weghorst.
- Lazio: Provedel, Marusic, Romagnoli, Hila, Tavares, Guendouzi, Rovella, Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni, Castellanos.
Head-to-Head
The teams have not faced each other in official competitions before.
Prediction
Both teams are known for their solid attacking play and have no trouble finding the back of the net. I believe a good option would be to bet on both sides scoring in this match.
