Ajax vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview and Team News

Ajax Team News

Ajax cemented first place in the Eredivisie after beating Almere City 0-1 on the road. Now they have 60 points and are eight clear of second-placed PSV. It should be noted that Francesco Farioly has done an impressive job following Ajax’s 2023/24 season fiasco.

Now, the hosts will take on Eintracht, where they’ll attempt to go beyond the round of 16 in the European Competition for the first time since 2020/21. That being said, the Dutch side survived a scare against Royale Union in the previous round, winning 3-2 on aggregate.

Davy Klaassen was sent off against Royale Union, and won’t feature. Wout Weghorst, Owen Wijndal, and Christian Rasmussen are also sidelined. 

Ajax predicted lineup vs Eintracht Frankfurt (4-3-3): Pasveer; Rosa, Sutalo, Rugani, Hato; Henderson, Taylor, Fitz-Jim; Berghuis, Brobbey, Edvardsen.

Eintracht Frankfurt Team News

Eintracht’s poor form continued against Leverkusen, where they lost 1-4 at home. They’ve just won one of their final seven League and Cup fixtures and lost five of their previous eight on the road.

In the Europa League, the German side missed the first round of the knockout after finishing the group stage in the top eight. Nevertheless, it will be a tricky trip to the Netherlands, where Ajax have won seven out of their eight outings.

Oscar Hojlund and Timothy Chandler won’t participate on Thursday, and Robin Koch picked up an injury against Leverkusen, meaning involvement is questionable. 

Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup vs Ajax (3-4-2-1): Trapp; Collins, Theate, Tuta; Knauff, Gotze, Larsson, Kristensen; Uzun, Skhiri; Ekitike.

Ajax vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction 

• Pick: Eintracht or Draw
• Odds: 1.55 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Ajax 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt

These clubs have only met once. It was back in 2020, when Ajax beat their opponents 2-1 in a friendly match. The circumstances are different now, and while the hosts are in a much better form, we cannot easily write off Eintracht.

The home squad secured a place in the round of 16 in extra time against Royale Union. Despite losing two consecutive games, we should note that it happened against Bayern and Leverkusen. 

The departure of the Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush was a blow for the visitors, but they still have a strong team and can put up resilience. Our first pick in this encounter is Eintracht or a draw. 

Ajax vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.52 (22Bet)

Ajax have followed with confident victories, but we don’t expect the same to happen against Eintracht. These sides are not prone to sitting in the defence and we’re likely to see chances on both ends of the field. 

The German guests have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last nine Europa League games on the road. As for Ajax, they last went goalless at home in a friendly against Zwolle on July 5.

— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) March 2, 2025

Both clubs like to play attacking football. The clash could go either way in Amsterdam, but we anticipate productive action from these clubs. We expect an exchange of goals, and our second pick would be both teams to score.
