Team Analysis
Looking to retain their unbeaten status for the entirety of the league phase, Galatasaray will visit the home of Ajax in the Europa League on Thursday night. De Godenzonen are set to be involved in the playoff round next month, whilst Cimbom are still fighting for an automatic spot in the last 16 of the competition.

Following a sobering fifth-placed finish in the Eredivisie during the 2023-24 campaign, Dutch giants Ajax are beginning to slowly ascend towards the top of European football once again, with Thursday night's hosts practically assured of a place in the top 24 of the Europa League. Heading into the final game of their January schedule, Galatasaray have tasted defeat in a competitive match on just three occasions so far during a terrific 2024-25 campaign, with two of those losses coming against Young Boys in Champions League qualifying in August, sentencing the Turkish side to a term in the Europa League.

Odds Analysis
With two European heavyweights clashing in Amsterdam, we are expecting a hard-fought affair between Ajax and Galatasaray on Thursday night. Cimbom will be desperate to earn three points but will also be cautious of losing their unbeaten status, so a share of the points seems to be the most likely outcome.

Pick: Ajax
