Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Johan Cruijff Arena when Ajax and Vojvodina take on each other in an eagerly-awaited Europa League showdown. The Amsterdammers are eager to get their job done in the first leg and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Serbs. Winger Bertrand Traore is back to the team, while Georges Mikautadze and Francisco Conceicao have signed permanent deals with FC Metz and FC Porto respectively in the summer transfer window.
Vosa, on the other hand, are eager to make life difficult for Ajax in Amsterdam, but seeing that Francesco Farioli’s troops are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Novi Sad empty-handed. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be pacey Ivory Coast winger Caleb Zady. This game will be special for Serbia ace Dusan Tadic as he played for both Ajax and Vojvodina in the past.
