Ajax and Atalanta met in European competition a few years ago, with Atalanta winning the most recent meeting 1-0 away in Amsterdam while the other match ended 2-2. This time both are playing in the Europa Conference League, and the shape of both teams has changed considerably since then. Ajax return home after a 5-2 league win, and before that they had been scoring heavily throughout, but their defence still has lapses, especially late in games when they concede often. Atalanta, meanwhile, have just lost 2-3 in the league and their away form has been inconsistent, but their attack still creates chances throughout. If Ajax control the ball and build play as planned, they should create more chances and look likely to edge the win in the end. The first half may still be a trade of blows, but in the second half the hosts should control the game more.
