Ajax Amsterdam is currently one of the strongest teams in Europe. In the domestic Eredivisie, the Godenzonen are currently heading for the 35th championship in the club's history. With 56 points from 22 games, Ajax has a cushion of six points on the pursuers from Eindhoven, and the team of head coach Erik ten Hag even has one game less on the account.

In addition to the best defense, Ajax also has the strongest offensive in Holland with 72 goals. On average, more than three goals were scored per game. So far, the Dutch leaders have also been able to underpin their offensive qualities in the Europa League. Ajax scored two important away goals against Lille, who at least have the best defense in Ligue 1.

The course has already been set for the round of 16. In the second leg Ajax could even lose with a goal and would still buy the ticket for the next round. Accordingly, the clear favorite role on the two-way market for qualification is understandable.

Attacking spectacle in the Johan Cruijff Stadium?
In the Eredivisie, Ajax Amsterdam scored an average of 3.18 goals per home game. Although the guests from Lille have one of the strongest defenders in France, an offensive spectacle in the upcoming match cannot be ruled out. In contrast to the Godenzonen, the French have to risk a lot on Thursday evening, so an offensive match can be expected.

Lille - statistics & current form
Although Lille was clearly inferior in the first leg, the Ligue 1 leaders barely missed a home win. Only in the last minutes of the game did the unfortunate home bust after a double strike from the Ajax offensive. In the second leg, the Great Danes have to win the away game in Amsterdam and score at least two goals in order to reach the round of 16.

LOSC will therefore face a difficult hurdle on Thursday evening and will have to risk a lot in order to survive against the home-strong Dutch record champions. In a foreign country, Lille recently celebrated eight away wins in a row, six times even keeping the clean slate. Last weekend, the Great Danes prevailed at Lorient and scored four goals.

Compared to the performances at national level, LOSC showed a rather poor performance in the last week. Although the defensive bulwark knew how to convince over long stretches, the Ligue 1 table leader remained too harmless in the offensive game.

Surprisingly, because in the group stage, the team of head coach Galtier scored 14 goals in six games. Among other things, LOSC prevailed 3-0 in the difficult away game against group opponents AC Milan. Yusuf Yazici was the best offensive player in the group stage with six goals and two assists.

The Turkish international delivered a poor performance against Ajax and was substituted during the second half. Nevertheless, Yazici will probably also be in the starting eleven in the second leg, after all, Yazici and compatriot Yilmaz are among the most dangerous players in the ranks of the mastiffs.
Speaking of Yilmaz: The goalgetter from LOSC will miss the second leg due to an injury and is the only player from the Great Danes hospital.
