Ajax vs Lille – Preview, Team News, Predicted Line-ups

Thursday’s Europa League action gets underway at 5.55 pm as Ajax welcome Lille to the Johan Cruijff Arena for the return leg of their last-32 tie.

Ajax hold a 2-1 advantage following the first-leg in France last week. All three goals were scored after half-time.

Timothy Weah slotted the ball past Maarten Stekelenburg to put the home team in front in the 72nd minute.

However, Ajax skipper Dusan Tadic converted a spot-kick in the 87th minute to initiate the comeback. The visitors did not have to wait long to complete the turnaround.

Davy Klaassen unlocked Lille’s defence with a pinpoint through ball, with Brian Brobbey poking home from a few yards out.
