Ajax host Union SG in the second leg of their Europa League play-off tie this evening.
The Eredivisie leaders boast a 2-0 lead from last week’s first leg and head into the clash in fine form. Ajax have won seven straight games in the league and thrashed Heracles 4-0 at the weekend to maintain their two-point advantage over champions PSV Eindhoven.
Last week’s win over Union SG saw 16-year-old Jorthy Mokio on the scoresheet. The teenager became Ajax’s youngest-ever goalscorer in European competition in the process.
