THE PREDICTION

A desperately disappointing third-placed finish for Ajax in the Eredivisie last season means their route into Europe in 2023-24 begins here in the Europa League play-off round, rather than the Champions League football their fans are accustomed to. Whilst this isn’t the competition they’d like to be in, they will still expect success in it, beginning against Ludogorets. Whilst the Bulgarian champions pose a significant challenge at home, especially when taking into account their 5-1 second-leg win over Astana in the previous round at Huvepharma Arena, Ajax pose an all-together far more formidable challenge. The strength-in-depth at the disposal of Maurice Steijn should see him pick a side capable of getting the better of Ludogorets and secure a first-leg advantage in Bulgaria.
