Ajax VS Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
The match between AFC Ajax and Atalanta BC will play on Thursday, 22 October 2026, from 20:00, at the Johan Cruijff Arena stadium in Amsterdam, in the second stage of the UEFA Conference League league stage.
Ajax:
Ajax comes after a disappointing debut in the competition, surprisingly losing in the first stage with 2-1 on the Hajduk Split pitch. The team coached by Míchel Sánchez, however, found its offensive rhythm last weekend, making a spectacular victory in the championship with 5-2 against Groningen. The hosts face a long list of absences due to medical problems. Important players such as Steven Berghuis, Daley Blind, Simon Adingra and Caio Henrique are unavailable. Still, it’s based on a form offensive led by Julian Brandt.
Ajax (4-3-3): Ter Stegen – Kehrer, Baas, Bouwman, Wijndal – Brandt, Amrabat, Klaassen – Gloukh, Tolu, Ouapane.
Atalanta:
Atalanta, under the leadership of Maurizio Sarri, began excellent European course with a Convincing victory, 3-1 against Pafos FC. However, in Serie A they have constant travel problems, coming after a narrow defeat at the weekend, 3-2 to AC Milan. The Italian’s defensive line is quite thin. Sead Kolasinac, Giorgio Scalvini, Odilon Kossoounou and Isak Hien are among Sarri’s main medical concerns. Sarri will most likely bet on key players like Giacomo Raspadori, Eljif Elmas and Gianluca Scamacca to take advantage of the Dutch’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Atalanta (4-2-3-1): Marco Carnesecchi — Davide Zappacosta, Thomas Kristensen, Lorenzo Bernaconi, Nicola Zalewski (or Seaed Kolašinac – if he passes the late medical tests) — Mario Pašalić, Éderson — Eljif Elmas, Charles De Keteleare, Gianluca Gaetano – Gianluca Scamacca.
