Ajax – Atalanta

Match analysis

Ajax, sitting fifth in the table with ten points from three wins, a draw and a loss and a solid 14‑6 goal difference, will host Atalanta on their own turf. The Italian side sit just outside the top half in eleventh place, having collected six points from two victories and two defeats, their goals for and against perfectly balanced at five each. Ajax’s recent form suggests they have the firepower to extend their lead, while Atalanta will be looking to tighten up defensively after conceding as many as they have scored. Both teams will be keen to improve their positions as the race for European spots and mid‑table safety tightens.
