All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming encounter sees Schalke and Ajax prepare to meet again, 7 days after their previous Europa League 1/4 final meeting which Ajax won 2-0. On a difficult run, Schalke approach this match following losses against Darmstadt and Ajax. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in five consecutive matches.
Ajax, compared to their opponent's recent loss, enter the match on a positive note, having secured five victories in a row against Heerenveen, Schalke, NEC, AZ and Feyenoord in their last five outings, pushing their unbeaten streak to eight games. Despite this, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in four consecutive away matches.
