Ajax aims to overcome yet another sluggish start in the domestic league as they embark on their European campaign. The Ajax vs Besiktas match will take place on Thursday evening in the first round of the UEFA Europa League.
Ajax has significantly declined since the departure of its previous manager, Erik ten Hag, who is currently at Manchester United. The hosts have finished outside the top two in the last two seasons, and the outlook for this year is the same. Francesco Farioli’s team has secured just two victories in its six Eredivisie matches, placing it eight positions behind the summit.
Besiktas last secured a top-two finish in the Süper Lig nearly seven years ago, which coincided with their league championship victory. A sixth-place result last season secured them a position in the Europa League play-offs, which they capitalised on by defeating Jagiellonia 8-4 on aggregate over two legs.
