Ajax will have been left very disappointed having only picked up a 1-0 lead against Vojvodina despite playing the first leg at home. This has certainly made the reverse fixture far more open and intriguing, and one the Dutch giants will have to navigate carefully.

Vojvodina vs Ajax prediction: Dutch giants will be wary of their opposition
Key stats
- Vojvodina gave up 10 shots on target in the first-leg
- Ajax have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven Europa League matches
- De Godenzonen finished last season losing just one of their final 11 Eredivisie encounters
Correct score prediction: Vojvodina 1-1 Ajax
Ajax disappointed last time out against Vojvodina winning just 1-0 and that goal came four minutes from time. So, Vojvodina will be backing themselves to cause a lot of problems, especially with a raucous home crowd behind them.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Ajax backed to have too much quality
- Home: 15/4 (4.75) – 21.2%
- Draw: 16/5 (4.2) – 23.8%
- Away: 4/6 (1.67) – 60%
Ajax remain the favourites for this clash given their experience in Europe and the quality of players within their squad, although the first leg did showcase how impressive Vojvodina can be.
We're going to back the BTTS market on Thursday with De Godenzonen knowing they will likely need at least one more goal to go through given how front-footed Vojvodina will be to overcome the first-leg deficit. Of course, we offer more free betting tips on our website which you should certainly look at.
Most recent H2Hs: A first-ever meeting awaits
Ajax took the win in the first meeting between these two sides but it was far from convincing. 10 shots on target resulted in just one goal which showed they are still struggling in the final third without Brian Brobbey, and Vojvodina will hope to capitalise on that this time around.

Vojvodina preview: A chance to cause an upset

Ajax preview: An improvement is required
The one-time European Cup winners know a 1-0 win at home last week was not good enough and has allowed their opponents to dream of causing an upset. Ajax should still have far too much for Vojvodina, but it could've been far more comfortable.
Predicted lineup: Pasveer (GK), Rensch, Sutalo, Baas, Hato, Henderson, Taylor, Van den Boomen, Forbes, Akpom, Rasmussen

Player to watch: Chuba Akpom
With last season's top scorer, Brian Brobbey still on an extended holiday due to his Euro 2024 adventure with the Netherlands, Chuba Akpom is going to have to stand up and lead the line.
It was a slog last week for Akpom who failed to get on the scoresheet and will have made more people think Brobbey is the undisputed number-one striker for Ajax. However, a brace could go a long way to changing people's minds and helping the Dutch giants through this round of qualifying.
