Ajax
The Amsterdam side secured their second clean-sheet victory in the group stage (1 draw), convincingly defeating Qarabag in the previous round with a 3-0 scoreline. As a result, the team's unbeaten and goal-scoring streaks in Europe's second-tier club competition have extended to five matches. Ajax won four times during this period, and in each of the victories, they scored at least three times. The Amsterdammers are currently fourth in the Europa League standings, trailing the leader by two points.
- One team failed to score in 5 of the last 7 Ajax's Europa League encounters.
- Ajax's uncompromising home streak in the Europa League consists of 6 matches (4 wins and 2 losses in regular time).
- The Amsterdammers have scored first in their last 4 Europa League clashes.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
The Israelis have lost all three of their Europa League group stage matches, conceding exactly two goals in each game. Their opponents were Sporting, Midtjylland, and Real Sociedad. Maccabi is among the three clubs in the group stage, along with Dynamo Kyiv and Qarabag, that have yet to earn any points. In the Europa League standings, Maccabi is in 34th place, ahead of the aforementioned rivals only on additional indicators.
- The club hasn't drawn in their last 10 Europa League matches (5 wins, 5 losses).

Ajax confidently overcame Qarabag in Azerbaijan in the previous round. However, it's worth noting that the hosts finished the match with nine men. Ajax also won their only home match in the group stage convincingly, thrashing Besiktas with a 4-0 scoreline. Therefore, I do not envy the Tel Aviv side, who are traveling to Amsterdam without a reliable defense. Maccabi has conceded exactly 2 goals in every match of the group stage. Moreover, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 9 consecutive away matches in this tournament.
The Dutch team has always been renowned for its attacking play, and in the last 5 Europa League matches, they have scored a whopping 14 goals. I expect Ajax to score at least 2 goals in the upcoming match, considering that Maccabi has yet to concede fewer than 2 goals in the current group stage.
Therefore, my prediction is Ajax Over 2 Team Goals with odds of
