Ajax vs FC Sion prediction

THE FORECAST

Ajax is the clear favorite on home soil in the Johan Cruijff Arena and statistically boasts an impressive attacking average of 3.4 goals per match, although there are some injury concerns at the back (Kaplan, Blind, Sutalo). Both teams have had seven days of rest and must get back to action in the league three days after this match, which brings slight rotation risk at Ajax, but given the Conference League platform a strong lineup is to be expected. FC Sion is in decent form following a 6-1 cup victory, but the quality gap between an Eredivisie powerhouse like Ajax and the Swiss runner-up is large enough to justify a comfortable home victory.
