Vojvodina-Ajax is a match valid for the return leg of the second preliminary round of the Europa League and is played on Thursday at 8 p.m.: statistics, likely lineups, prediction, TV and streaming.
Among the “side effects” of Ajax’s fifth place finish in the last edition of the Eredivisie is the obligation to play the preliminaries to qualify for the Europa League single group stage. Something extremely rare for the Lancers, who are used to entering the European cups through the front door. But last season the Amsterdam club was disastrous, to the point of considering a fifth place finish a positive: for several months, in fact, Ajax occupied even the last positions in the standings.
A situation, in short, that called for a revolution, not only in the squad but also from the point of view of technical leadership. The club therefore decided to rely on the young, bright-minded Italian coach Francesco Farioli, fresh from an excellent season at Nice in Ligue 1.
In the first official match Ajax responded positively, although offensively they could have done more in the first leg of the second preliminary round with the Serbs of Vojvodina, beaten “only” 1-0. Former Toulouse man van den Boomen’s goal four minutes from the end was a kind of “liberation,” as the Lancers’ too many under-goal errors were allowing the guests to take away a very valuable draw from Amsterdam. Vojvodina, whose championship has already begun – in the opener the red and whites prevailed 3-1 over Tekstilac – now needs to win by at least two goals to take Ajax’s scalp and face one between Botev Plovdiv and Panathinaikos in the third round.
