Despite losing their star players in recent times, with the most recent being Hakim Ziyech who departed to Chelsea, Ajax have continued defying odds.
The Dutch team hosted Lille in the UEFA Champions League group stages last season, winning 3-0 with goals from Quincy Promes, Edson Álvarez and Nicolás Tagliafico, and now look set to progress, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Also, Ajax have won each of their last seven home matches in the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League, conceding only three goals over this stretch of games.
One player that Lille should be wary of is Dusan Tadic. Since the start of the 2018-19 season, Dusan Tadic has been directly involved in 19 goals in major European competition for Ajax (nine goals, 10 assists), at least seven more than any other player for the Dutch side (excluding qualifiers).
With the both teams leading their respective leagues, a fight back is to be expected from Ligue 1 side, but then this is the home of Ajax. So a safe bet would be over 2.5 goals
