The Europa League playoff encounter between Union Saint-Gilloise and Ajax Amsterdam is scheduled for Thursday. The first leg of this match took place last week in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and Ajax won over Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The Ajax vs Union Saint-Gilloise game will kick off at 20:00 UK Time.
Farioli, a former Nice manager, took over a struggling Ajax squad last summer. Since then, the Amsterdam club has regained first place in the Eredivisie, two points ahead of PSV Eindhoven, who are the reigning champions, and they have a game in hand. Over the weekend, they thrashed Heracles Almelo, scoring four goals to none.
As a Brighton and Hove Albion affiliate, Union SG has become one of Europe’s most progressive football clubs. However, this season, they have failed to advance beyond third place in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, and they appear destined to be eliminated from European competition.
With the benefit of playing at home at the Johann Cruyff Arena, Ajax should cruise to an easy two-legged victory, despite Union SG’s overall potential.
