Ajax, after a challenging start to the 2023-24 season, has shown signs of improvement under head coach John van 't Schip, winning six and drawing one of their last nine matches in all competitions. However, their struggles in the Europa League group stage, including defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Marseille, have left them at the bottom of Group B with just two points from five matches. In their upcoming Europa League clash, Ajax faces AEK Athens, and a victory is crucial for them to move into third place in the group and keep their European campaign alive. Ajax has a positive history against AEK Athens, winning four of their last five European meetings. AEK Athens, who started well in the group stage with four points from the first two games, has since lost three consecutive matches. A draw against Ajax would be sufficient for AEK Athens to secure third place and enter the Europa Conference League playoff round. Despite the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in Greece, Ajax's recent form suggests they are likely to secure a narrow victory at home. The Dutch giants have won their last three Eredivisie matches and will aim to carry that momentum into the European competition. AEK Athens has struggled historically on Dutch soil, losing all six previous away games in the Netherlands.My prediction is that Ajax will emerge with a narrow victory over AEK Athens, securing third place in Group B.

阿贾克斯在经历了一个充满挑战的2023-24赛季后，在主教练约翰·范特·希普的带领下，球队表现出了进步的迹象，他们在各项赛事的最后9场比赛中取得了6胜1平。然而，他们在欧联杯小组赛中表现不佳，包括输给布莱顿和霍夫阿尔比恩和马赛，使他们在B组五场比赛中仅积2分垫底。在即将到来的欧联杯比赛中，阿贾克斯将面对雅典AEK队，一场胜利对他们来说至关重要，他们将进入小组第三的位置，并继续他们的欧洲之旅。阿贾克斯在与雅典AEK的比赛中取得了积极的战绩，在最近的五场欧洲比赛中取得了四场胜利。雅典AEK在小组赛中开局不错，前两场比赛积4分，但在此之后连续3场失利。一场与阿贾克斯的平局将足以让AEK雅典确保第三名并进入欧联杯附加赛。尽管在希腊的比赛中1-1战平，但阿贾克斯最近的状态表明他们很可能在主场险胜。这支荷兰豪门在最近的三场荷甲联赛中都取得了胜利，他们将把这种势头带到欧洲赛场上。雅典AEK历来在荷兰的土地上表现不佳，在荷兰输掉了之前的六场客场比赛。我的预测是阿贾克斯将以微弱优势战胜雅典AEK，获得B组第三名。
