A very important game, against the backdrop of its future in Europe, is ahead of AEK, which hosts Ajax in the OPAP Arena for the 2nd match of the Europa League (19:45, COSMOTE Sport 3. News Bulletin 247 and sport- fm.gr).
After their great win at home to Brighton in the Premier League, the Union will be looking at 2/2 to… lock down the Conference League, since it will be difficult for him to finish in fourth place, while he will put a bow to continue in the second regular event, hoping for the best possible course.
In addition to the great motivation that exists, the “yellow and black” will look to get a reaction afterwards the defeat in Heraklion, where OFI took full advantage of their weaknesses and absences and took a great victory.
In the competitive part, “Union” will have many returns in relation to the match against OFI last Monday, while there will be many changes in the starting line-up. Mandalos, Amrabad, Jonson, Vida, Sidibe and Hadjisafi they will again be at the disposal of Matias Almeida, with Levia Garcia sidelined due to the new contusion he suffered, which will knock him out for the next match as well, again at home against Panaitolikos.

On the other hand, Ajax traveled to Athens with many problems, both competitive and non-competitive, after what has happened to the Dutch team in recent times. And this is because there is none within the four lines of the field the desired result, with the fans breaking what they find in front of them at the “Johan Cruyff Arena”, interrupting the match with Feyenoord, unable to believe that their team was 3-0 down. The game resumed a few days later, where the defeat was heavier, with the Rotterdam club eventually winning 4-0.
Yes, not completed nor the last match of “Aiantos”, due to the serious injury of the goalkeeper of Vaalwijk in the last minutes, after a collision with Brombay. However, Ajax is ahead in the score with 2-3.
