Ajax

Win this match or get ready for a Europa League campaign in the new year. Six of the seven points that Ajax has in this group came from wins against the Danish side. The other was earned in Italy, but it should have been more. They led 2-0 in Atalanta but came home with a 2-2 draw. But for that, they’d just need to avoid defeat in this game to qualify. Home form in the Champions League has seen Ajax struggling with three straight losses before beating Midtjylland. The weekend saw them lose their 100% home league record, losing 2-1 at home to Twente, though they still lead the table by two points. Not the best of starts to an important week. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Dušan Tadić is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Quincy Promes plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.

Atalanta

Atalanta was making good progress in this group with a 4-0 win at Midtjylland, followed by rescuing that home point against Ajax. Then, they showed how inconsistent they could be with a 5-0 home loss to Liverpool and then beating them 2-0 away. Next up came a home game against Midtjylland, and they again had to come from behind to get a point. Now they need to avoid defeat in the Netherlands to reach the knock-out stages of this competition again. Four of their last five away games in this group have been won. The visitors had a free weekend with their Serie A game postponed. Atalanta is known for their high-scoring games, but they can yet concede an away goal in this group. Marten de Roon enjoys the pitch, when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems, he is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Duvan Zapata scored 18 goals in Serie A and one goal in the Champions League last season, he is fast, has reasonable ball control, and many clubs are ready to give a fortune for his arrival. He is a player for great deeds.
