Match Prediction: Ajax 2-1 Inter

Ajax's recent form suggests a team capable of grinding out results, with a mix of draws and wins in their last six matches. Their ability to score consistently, as seen in their home games against PEC Zwolle, Heracles Almelo and Telstar, could pose a threat to Inter's defence. However, their defensive vulnerabilities, evident in their draws against FC Volendam and Go Ahead Eagles, might be exploited by Inter's attacking prowess.

Inter, despite losses to Juventus and Udinese, have shown strong offensive capabilities, particularly in their 5-0 thrashing of Torino. Their ability to score multiple goals in several matches indicates they could challenge Ajax's defence. Yet their inconsistent results, including a draw against Monza, suggest they might struggle to maintain a solid performance throughout the match.

Ajax's recent form has been a blend of solid victories and frustrating draws. Their ability to secure wins at home against Heracles Almelo and Telstar demonstrates their strength on familiar turf. However, their draws against FC Volendam and Go Ahead Eagles highlight a need for improved defensive stability, which could be crucial in their upcoming match against Inter.

Inter's recent performances have been a mix of dominant wins and unexpected losses.

Ajax's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining possession and exploiting their home advantage. Their recent form indicates a need for defensive solidity to counter Inter's potent attack.

• Sommer, Acerbi, Bisseck, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Sučić, Çalhanoğlu, Dimarco, Martínez, Thuram

Inter's predicted lineup points towards an emphasis on offensive firepower, aiming to capitalise on Ajax's defensive weaknesses. Their recent results highlight the importance of maintaining a disciplined defensive structure, so Bastoni and Acerbi will be key.
