Can Ajax Leave Brussels with a Positive Result?

Union Saint-Gilloise booked their spot in the Europa League play-offs after taking 11 points in the league phase. The Belgian side picked up three wins, suffered three losses, and drew twice.

Before a ball was kicked, Ajax were aiming for a top-eight finish. They went close, but the Amsterdam outfit missed out on automatic last-16 qualification by a point. Francesco Farioli’s side won four, lost three, and drew one.

The Belgian Pro League side looked to be heading for the exit door when they failed to win any of their opening four. However, successive triumphs over Twente, Nice, and Braga reignited their qualification hopes. They lost at Rangers in the final game but finished in 21^st.

Ajax came through the qualifiers, and Thursday’s match will be their 15^th of the season in this competition. They started the league phase in stunning style, but a trio of defeats ended their top-eight hopes. Still, Ajax finished with a 2-1 home victory over Galatasaray to take 12^th.
