Best Bet for Ajax vs Union Saint Gilloise

The Johan Cruijff ArenA will be the stage for a decisive Europa League playoff clash on Thursday, February 20, 2025, as Ajax Amsterdam host Union Saint-Gilloise. With a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, Ajax are in a commanding position to progress, but the Belgian side will not go down without a fight.

Ajax have been in sensational form recently, winning their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing, a 4-0 demolition of Heracles Almelo, showcased both their attacking firepower and defensive solidity. Despite a disappointing domestic campaign that sees them sitting 12th in the Eredivisie, their performances in Europe suggest they remain a formidable force, especially at home.

Union Saint-Gilloise, on the other hand, face an uphill battle. Their away form in European competitions has been woeful, with four defeats in their last five matches on the road, including a loss to Slavia Prague in Champions League qualifying. Manager Sébastien Pocognoli’s side struggled in the first leg despite some decent spells and now must produce something special in Amsterdam. With Ajax’s ruthless efficiency in front of goal, the visitors will need to be at their very best to keep their European dreams alive.

Best Bet for Ajax vs Union Saint-Gilloise

Here at BettingTips4You.com, we pride ourselves on delivering one premium betting tip per match rather than bombarding you with multiple predictions. For this clash, our standout tip is Ajax to win and both teams to score.

This selection is backed by both form and logic. Ajax are on a six-game winning streak at home and have been scoring freely, netting at least twice in each of those matches. Their attacking output has been impressive, with 16 goals scored in their last eight games. Manager Francesco Farioli has instilled an aggressive, possession-based style that has made them lethal in the final third.

Union Saint-Gilloise may be struggling, but they have at least shown a knack for getting on the scoresheet. They have found the net in six straight away matches across all competitions, proving they can be dangerous when given space. Even in the first leg, they created opportunities and had a goal disallowed, showing they are capable of troubling Ajax’s backline.

Defensively, Ajax have been solid but not impenetrable. While they kept a clean sheet in the first leg, they have conceded in three of their last five matches, suggesting Union SG can exploit gaps if they push forward. The Belgian side will have no choice but to attack, and that desperation could lead to an open, high-scoring affair.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Wolfgang Shotten puts it:

“Ajax’s attacking form at home is too strong to ignore, but Union SG’s need to score should make this a lively contest. A home win with goals at both ends looks like the perfect combination.“

Expected Scoreline

Ajax’s dominance at home, coupled with Union SG’s need to chase the game, suggests this could turn into an entertaining contest. Given Ajax’s relentless scoring form and the visitors’ struggles on the road, a 3-1 home win seems the most logical outcome. Union SG will likely push forward, which could leave them vulnerable to Ajax’s pace and precision in attack, particularly in the closing stages.
