On Thursday night, Union Berlin and Ajax clash at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in Europa League last 32 second leg tie. The first game in Amsterdam ended in a goalless draw, so it is all to play for in this clash.
Urs Fischer’s team is currently joint-top of the German Bundesliga table alongside traditional powerhouses Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
However, they trail the two giants courtesy of inferior goal difference.
Union could be in an even healthier position in the table but for a 0-0 draw against Schalke last time out in the Bundesliga.
Despite back-to-back 0-0 draws, the home side’s record of eight games unbeaten in all competitions is still a good one.
The team from the German capital is also unbeaten in five matches in the Europa League, having kept clean sheets in all five of the unbeaten games.
The reigning Dutch champions continued their recent good form last time out, as Johnny Heitinga’s team recorded a 4-0 home win over Sparta Rotterdam at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
The win means that Ajax is now unbeaten in their previous 13 matches in all competitions, having also kept clean sheets in four of their last five competitive games.
Despite the recent positives, the visitors have now failed to win in their last three matches in the Europa League, although they have also lost just one of their previous eight games in the competition.
Ajax has an inconsistent recent record in the Europa League. Although they have won two of their previous 11 away games in the competition, the Dutch side head to Berlin on the back of a three-game unbeaten away run in the Europa League.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts these two teams will produce another low-scoring draw, and the tie will be settled in extra time or by penalty shootout.
