Brighton will compete with Ajax as part of the 3rd round of the group stage of the Europa League. The match will take place at Amex Stadium on October 26 and will start at 21:00 CET.
Brighton
Brighton is a provincial English club that returned to the Premier League just seven years ago. The real rise began with the arrival of Graham Potter as a coach, who would later fail at Chelsea. And the team, being already under the leadership of the Italian specialist, Roberto De Zerbi, finished the previous season in the 6th place, which was the best result in its history.
Speaking about the new season, the team performs in a pretty “smooth” way, but concedes too many goals. Brighton has conceded 23 goals in 11 matches of the current draw. As for the Europa League, Brighton, by the way, sensationally lost to AEK in the 1st round, and then achieved a draw in the struggle with Olympique de Marseille.
Ajax
The beginning of the new season turned into a deafening failure for the team from Amsterdam. Ajax won only 1 home game in the league and unexpectedly found itself in the penultimate place of the Eredivisie table. It has not won for two months and the way Maurice Steijn remains on the position of the head coach is really strange.
The Dutch team has got 2 draws in the Europa League matches. The 1st round brought a 3-3 result in the home battle against Marseille, and the 2nd match ended with a 1-1 equality in the confrontation with AEK.
Interesting facts and the statistics of head-to-head matches
• Brighton has failed to win 5 matches in a row.
• Ajax has got a similar series, which already includes 8 matches.
• The opponents have never played against each other.
Prediction
The rivals try to play in an attacking manner, which results in productive matches. I think that the following battle will not be an exception. I bet on “total: over 3.0”.
