Analysis:
Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Johan Cruijff Arena when Ajax and Eintracht Frankfurt go head to head in the Europa League last 16, first leg. The Amsterdammers are on the right track to regain the Eredivisie title and they must be high on confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Almere City. The likes of Rasmussen, Regeer, van Axel Dongen, Weghorst, and Wijndal are out of contention with injuries, while veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson should be recalled to the starting XI. Fellow midfielder Davy Klaassen is banned for the first leg.
Die Adler, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back Bundesliga losses to Bayern Munich (0-4) and Bayer Leverkusen (1-4). Eintracht’s current fixture list seems to be very tough and given Ajax’s brilliant winning run, we predict that the Germans are going to return home with their hands empty. Frankfurt key player Omar Marmoush joined Man City last season, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
