Ajax will be looking to extend their long unbeaten run when they welcome Serie A outfit Roma to the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.

Andre Onana is still suspended for Ajax whilst Maarten Stekelenberg is a doubt after picking up an injury at the weekend, meaning Kjell Scherpen should deputise. Noussair Mazraoui, Daley Blind, Sebastian Haller are all out.

Ajax vs Roma Preview

After moving 11 points clear at the top of Eredivisie on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Heerenveen, Ajax can essentially put all their focus into continuing their European exploits and extending their undefeated streak.

Erik ten Hag’s men were unlucky to drop into the Europa League but have taken this competition in their stride with a 4-2 aggregate win over Ligue 1 leaders Lille in the last-32 and a 5-1 victory against Young Boys in the last-16.

Those two matches have contributed to a run of Ajax scoring more than once in 15 of their last 16 games, and they will certainly fancy their chances of doing so again when they face Roma’s faltering defence.
