Predictions

Double chance : draw or Atalanta

Form and context

Ajax host Atalanta in the Europa Conference League on Matchday 2, looking to respond after a 2-1 loss at Hajduk Split on Matchday 1. The sides last met in the 2020/21 Champions League group stage, when Atalanta won 1-0 in Amsterdam. Atalanta opened their campaign with a 3-1 home win over Pafos.

Team news

Ajax: Daley Blind is training individually and coach Michel Sanchez hopes he can help the team again next week. Oleksandr Zinchenko, a free agent, has been offered the chance to train with Ajax and is close to full recovery from a torn ACL, though no new contract has been discussed.
Atalanta: Sead Kolasinac is out for around three weeks with a mild strain of the rectus femoris in his left thigh, sustained against AC Milan.

What the numbers say

Ajax have scored 3.3 goals per game across their last 10 in all competitions, conceding 1.7.
Atalanta average 1.4 goals for and 1.2 against across their last 10 in all competitions.
Ajax's recent run in all competitions includes a 5-2 win at Groningen, a 2-1 loss at Hajduk Split, a 1-1 draw with NEC Nijmegen, a 2-2 draw with Excelsior and a 5-1 win over Willem II.
Atalanta's recent run in all competitions includes a 3-2 loss at AC Milan, a 3-1 win over Pafos, a 3-1 win over Venezia, a 2-0 loss at Juventus and a 1-2 loss to Cagliari.

Our view

Ajax have the sharper scoring record of late, but Atalanta arrive in good form according to close observers, despite missing several important players. The loss of Kolasinac leaves Atalanta short at the back, while Ajax are still waiting on Blind's return.

Most likely outcome: draw - Ajax's scoring output and Atalanta's solid recent run point to a close contest.
