Ajax vs Getafe Prediction & Betting tips
Ajax faces a tough job on Thursday evening, because after last week’s 2-0 defeat in and against Getafe, the eighth finals of the Europa League are further away than ever. However, the Amsterdammers have not yet thrown in the towel, and are convinced that with the support of the fans in their own Johan Cruijff Arena they can make up for the backlog in the return.
Ajax:
Ajax was unpleasantly introduced to the Spanish revelation Getafe last week. The team from Amsterdam did not come to their favorite position game in the suburb of Madrid of the same name and had to give it up in the personal duels against the combative Spaniards. The result was a hopeless 2-0 defeat, so the men of coach Erik ten Hag will have to tap into a return on Wednesday evening to make up for this substantial backlog.
The Amsterdam self-confidence is still undiminished, but the fact is that the current Ajax is a lot less than the team that was on the threshold of the Champions League final last season and managed to beat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus, among others. . Perr Schuurs and Lisandro Martinez simply do not have the qualities of Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong, while also key players such as Dusan Tadic, Hakim Ziyech and Daley Blind are significantly less than last year. That obviously has sporting consequences, because after the debacle against Getafe last weekend went wrong again with a 1-0 defeat at Heracles. The last time the team from Amsterdam lost twice in a row without scoring themselves was more than three years ago. In that regard, Ten Hag will be pleased with the return of Quincy Promes to the training field. However, it remains to be seen to what extent the coach is willing to take risks with his attacker, as the Eredivisie team will have AZ’s top match coming up this weekend.
Getafe:
Getafe has a 2-0 lead of course on roses, so the Spaniards can play their favorite game in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Success trainer Jose Bordalas has transformed Los Azulones into a kind of mini-Atletico Madrid. For offensive football and fast combinations you are at the wrong place in the Coliseum, but Getafe is a smart team that really does everything to get the desired result over the line. It’s not for nothing that the team is known in their own country as LaLiga’s Dentist: you have to go there every year, and you know in advance that it will hurt.
Despite the 2-0 lead from the first match, Bordalas refused to take on the favorite role: ‘Ajax won 0-3 against Valencia earlier this season and is therefore still a favorite. There are still 94 minutes to play. ” The latter is by the way not entirely true, because the pure playing time in the first game was just 42 minutes and 36 seconds – the second lowest playing time since the introduction of the Europa League in 2009. Also on Thursday evening Getafe will be there from the first whistle do everything possible to get the pace out of the competition and let the seconds tick away via time racks and minor offenses. Getafe is certainly not invincible, because last weekend the blue shirts received a whopping 0-3 beat from Sevilla, a direct competitor in the battle for European football in LaLiga.
