Ajax will look to bounce back from the shocking defeat that they got against RFS in the UEFA Europa League as they lost by 1-0. The Dutch team will now face the Turkish giants Galatasaray on Thursday night. Francesco Farioli and his staff are under pressure as they have got a lot of criticism from the fans for not performing well in the continental competition.
They are sitting at the 16th spot in the UEFA Europa League with 10 points on board. Out of the seven fixtures which they played, they won three, drawn one and lost three games. They will have to make sure to not lose this game as they will have to qualify for the play-off round somehow or the other.
Just like Ajax, the Turkish giants are also currently sitting in the play-off spot. They are in the ninth position with 13 points on the board. If they win this fixture they might make it into the top-eight spot in the Europa League.
In seven games, they have won three games and drawn four games. They are unbeaten in the continental competition and surely would like to end their group campaign undefeated.
He has great flair, body balance, and coordination skills. The Belgian is a creative player with great technique on the ball. Godts likes to have a free attacking role so that he can roam around the pitch to find space and exploit them.
With his dribbling and speed, he is able to run at opposition defence creating a lot of trouble for the defenders. Due to his agility and pace, he is a lethal player on counter-attacks and with his pinpoint delivery, he is able to help his teammates to score goals. In 16 games he has scored three goals.
Osimhen is a very athletic, fast and imposing striker who combines a lightning-fast turn of pace when he gets going in long distances. He is mainly used as an on-the-box poacher, not contributing to the team’s general play and doesn’t look to combine with teammates and drop deep to dictate play. Due to his positioning and slick movements in and around the box, he is able to make a difference in the final third.
The Nigerian has raw power and strength in him which makes him unstoppable. In 15 games, he has scored 12 goals and in five Europa League games, he has scored four goals.
