Ajax are having a free run at the Eredivisie title, dealing with almost everything thrown their way in the Dutch league. And they will continue their Europa League campaign after securing home and away 2-1 victories against Lille in the last 32, thereby ensuring their progression into the round of 16 of this competition.

Similarly, Young Boys claimed victories in both legs to eliminate Bayer Leverkusen from the Europa League in the last-16 round. Also, it is a fairytale for them in the domestic league, as they enjoy a smooth-sailing cruise to another league triumph in the Swiss League.

Ajax vs Young Boys Team News

Ajax's last outing saw them humble Groningen to a 3-1 defeat at Johan Cruyff Arena. Predictably, the hosts were in charge of proceedings, grabbing the lead early into the game. After starting the second half with a goal lead, Ajax soon doubled the tally, all thanks to Sebastian Haller's goal. Dusan Tadic converted from the spot to seal the deal for Ajax. Subsequently, the visitors managed to score an 84th-minute goal which proved to be a mere consolation.

So far, so good for de Joden who sit at the top of the league standings, having amassed a whopping total of 60 points from 24 league games. Despite playing a game less, Ajax sit at the top with a 6-point cushion, as they push for title win this term.

Erik ten Hag's charges are undefeated in nineteen successive matches in all competitions, winning sixteen times in the process. The Dutch manager will urge his to keep up the momentum as they continue to challenge for an elusive European title.

In their last fixture, Young Boys were held to a dour 1-1 stalemate against Vaduz in the Swiss League. Following a relatively even first-half, Young Boys fell behind after the start of the second period courtesy of a Dukic's goal. The hosts ramped up the pressure as they sought an equalizer, and they were finely rewarded on the 81st minute with a goal. However, they could only salvage a point as they ran out of time.

This stalemate implies their third consecutive match in the league. Having accrued a total of 53 points from 23 league games, Young Boys sit at the top of the league standings, a massive nineteen points above 2nd-placed Servette.

Following three successive stalemates, it can be said that Gerardo Seoane's side have hit a snag in the Swiss top flight, and they are not hitting their normal standards lately. Nevertheless, they will approach this European contest with more seriousness after their exploits against Bayer Leverkusen.

Quite interestingly, this will be the first time both sides will go head to head in any competition. The two sides are atop their respective domestic leagues, and they will be aiming to make a statement in the Europa League.

Injured or Suspended Players

Ajax: Noussair Mazraoui, Daley Blind and Andre Onana.

Young Boys: Esteban Petignat, Christopher Martins Pereira and David von Ballmoos.
