Conclusion: This is an important game for both teams, Ajax may still have some hope of getting the qualification, once they’ve got a home tie with Milan, Auxerre also could be reborn to this evidence in reaching a positive result. Additionally, third place also gives the right to continue in Uefa and this may motivate both teams to compete even more this game.

Ajax have a very powerful attack, with Suarez, but also very skilled Sulejmani and Hamdaoui is a good finisher. Auxerre will be without Jelen, who is perhaps his most dangerous attacker, but will take Oliech and Birsa, players who can put Ajax in trouble. The offensive propensity of Dutch football is well known, but their defensive weaknesses as well, so I think this game may have some goals and that both teams will be able to score, and this will be my bet.
