Ajax vs Juventus Match Preview

Ajax enter this round from a second place finish in the group stage behind Anderlecht. In the Dutch Eredivisie they are in third place and trail leader PSV by 9 points. The historic Amsterdam team, winners of 4 European Cups, 1 UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup, and 1 Europa League Cup had their last European glory a decade ago when they won the Champions League and the Super Cup in 1995. Eager to reestablish their namesake in European football, Ajax have this Thursday a great opportunity when they face Italy’s Vecchia Signora, Juventus, arguably an equally historic side. Ajax, who produced legends like Cruyff and Neeskens and, more recently, Marco Van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Dennis Bergkamp, van der Saar, Seedorf, Davis, and Kluivert, are notorious for their fruitful farm system. Ajax thrive on the emergence of bright young players from their academy, keeping these players for short successful spells before they are signed by more powerful clubs. Juve, on the other hand, can afford buying some of the biggest names in football as they yearly covet all of the continental and domestic competitions in which they participate. In latest action, Ajax are unbeaten in their last 7 matches and they defeated Heerenveen 0-2 this past weekend. Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez is one to watch closely.

Meanwhile, storied Juventus are not enjoying a dreamy season. They enter the Europa League because they failed to advance in the Champions League and they are in sixth place in the Italian Serie A, 16 points removed from Inter. Despite their record, they are not by any means perishing. They are only 1 point from the Champions League places and, under new coach Alberto Zaccheroni, they held for a 3-2 victory over Genoa this weekend. Goalkeeper Buffon and midfielders Diego and Del Piero are perhaps Juventus’ surest exponents of their winning chances. The goalie rarely makes mistakes and has long been regarded as one of the world’s best. Diego joins Juventus from Werder Bremen and his technique and creativity ought to compliment Del Piero’s magic well. Juventus always have depth and are an experienced and resourceful squad; they will be extremely tough to beat under any circumstances and can never be discounted. Juventus will walk onto the pitch at the Amsterdam Arena willing to change their season around and to continue to add to their brass.
