Ajax Amsterdam - AS Roma:Tips, prognosis and odds - Europa League 2021

Crunch time in the Europa League too. The first legs in the quarter-finals are on the program on Thursday. With Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma, two teams meet, both of which have what it takes to put the silverware in their showcase at the end of the season. Both teams have so far completely convinced in the knockout round of the Europa League.

Nevertheless, the Dutch are traded as favorites over both duels by the well-known bookmakers. That's because Ajax are doing better overall and are convincing week after week in the Eredivisie. The Roma, on the other hand, have their problems in Serie A and have to tremble about qualifying for the European Cup again via the national league.

The Italians should therefore feel the greater pressure. At first glance, we estimate Amsterdam a little stronger, so that between Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma the prognosis goes in the direction of the Dutch. However, we are expecting two games that will be fiercely competitive because both teams have great qualities.

On Thursday the first thing is to work out a better starting position for the second leg in a week. Another difficult task awaits in the semi-finals with Granada or Manchester United. We will of course also report on this duel in our Europa League tips. We tend to see Erik ten Hag's team ahead and that's why we think a tip between Ajax Amsterdam and AS on a home win in this first duel is the better choice.

Direct comparison / H2H

It's been a long time since Ajax and Roma met in the European Cup. In the 2002/03 season there were the only duels so far. In the group stage of the premier class, at that time there was still an intermediate round, it was about getting into the quarter-finals. The Dutch were a bit better back then and finished second behind Valencia and got through. The Roma came out at the bottom.

The Dutch won the first leg in Amsterdam 2-1. In Rome, the two opponents parted with a 1-1 draw. Andy van der Meyde brought Ajax 1-0 up front. Antonio Cassano managed to equalize. This means that the Roma have not yet won a duel against Ajax, even though these two duels have only just taken place.

Ajax Amsterdam - statistics & current form

Ajax Amsterdam has been in great shape for the whole season. A look at the table of the Eredivisie makes it clear that the national title can basically no longer be taken from Erik ten Hag's team. The cushion on runners-up PSV Eindhoven is eleven points, with Ajax even playing one game less.

Ajax with a terrific home record

Especially in their own stadium, Ajax is hard to beat. The Dutch have won ten and one draw from the last eleven home games. There were also four wins in the four games in the knockout phase of the Europa League against Lille and Young Boys Bern. Therefore, the odds on a home win should already be attractive in this first leg between Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma.

Amsterdam has not been defeated at all for around four months. Last weekend, however, the designated Dutch champion had a very difficult time at the guest appearance in Heerenveen. The home side even took a 1-0 lead before Dusan Tadic and Sebastien Haller turned the match around. But it remained exciting until the final minutes.

Erik ten Hag is particularly concerned about goal. Andre Onana is still absent due to a doping offense. The ex-Roman Marten Stekelenburg is injured. So Kjell Scherpen will guard the case. Other well-known players are Daley Blind and Noussair Mazraoui on the Europa League dropout list. Sebastien Haller is also not eligible to play in the European Cup.

Expected formation of Ajax Amsterdam:

Scherpen - Tagliafico, Alvarez, Martinez, Timber - Gravenberch, Klaassen, Rensch - Antony, Tadic, Neres - Trainer: ten Hag

AS Roma - statistics & current form

In Serie A it is very close for the Roma. At the moment, Paulo Fonseca's team is only in seventh place. That's probably not even enough to get involved in the new Conference League in the coming season. However, the Champions League is only five points away. So much is still possible for the capital city club.

Top performance of the Roma in the Europa League

It is going much better internationally. The Italians won seven of the last eight games in the Europa League, but were unexpectedly beaten by CSKA Sofia. In the playoffs, however, the Romans also took four wins from four games, but perhaps had the slightly easier opponents in Braga and Donetsk, so we continue to predict the Dutch in terms of the semi-finals before the first leg between Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma.

Free soccer picks

Last Saturday there was only one draw in Serie A at the guest appearance in Sassuolo, which was even a bit happy for the Roma overall. Lorenzo Pellegrini and Bruno Peres brought Paulo Fonseca's team forward twice. Overall, however, Sassuolo was the slightly better and, above all, more compelling team in this encounter.

Free soccer predictions

Personally, things are not looking particularly good with the Romans. Some key players will not be available on Thursday. Marash Kumbulla, Chris Smalling, Juan Jesus, Rick Karsdorp, Nicolo Zaniolo and Stephan El Shaarawy will definitely be missing. It will probably not be enough for Henrikh Mkhitaryan either.

Expected formation of AS Roma:

Pau Lopez - Mancini, Cristante, Ibanez - Bruno Peres, Villar, Veretout, Spinazzola - Pellegrini, Pedro - Dzeko - Trainer: Fonseca

Betting base forecast & Netherlands Ajax Amsterdam - AS Rom Italy tip

The Dutch are in great shape and are eager to return the favor in a possible semi-final against Manchester United for the final failure four years ago. In any case, the form of Erik ten Hag's team is optimistic. There hasn't been a defeat in four months and Ajax have won ten of their last eleven home games.

Free soccer predictions

In the Europa League, however, both opponents celebrated four wins in four games in the knockout round. That already shows that no walk-in customers drop by with the Roma. Nevertheless, the quotes in the Bet365 app show that the Dutch are favored in the first leg and we also tend to place a tip on a home win between Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma.

Free soccer tips

The Romans have not convinced most recently, especially nationally, and numerous regular players were not on board on Thursday. Although the two clubs have only met twice so far, the Italians have not yet won against the Dutch. The bottom line is that we have decided to play the betting odds on a home win between Ajax Amsterdam and AS Roma.
