hard game is what awaits us at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium in Athens, when two teams with lots of history in Europe, such as Ajax and Panathinaikos, see the faces under the first round of the UEFA Europa League.
The last time these teams faced off was in a friendly last year, where the picture of Greece won 0-2. But the most remarkable player was that final of the European Cup in 1971 at Wembley, where Ajax won the title; and generally they have clashed three times UEFA competitions, where Ajax has the advantage having won two games by one of Panathinaikos; so, led by the Italian Andrea Stramaccioni they want to get even the series Thursday.
It comes from the Greek box left outside in the preliminary stage of the tournament AIK Solna to Brondbyy Thursday and wants to start with the right foot the group stage, to leave behind the bad memories of the 2014/15 and 2013/14 seasons, where there could pass the group stage.
Panathinaikos last weekend hiso his debut in the Super League Greece, getting a good win 0-3 on their visit to Levadiakos, so arrive very motivated for this game.
Meanwhile, the season started poorly for the Dutch team, who now has the services of Peter Bosz as coach; Table Ajax are in this phase, after poor presentation at the preliminary stage of the UEFA Champions League, where it was eliminated by modest FC Rostov in Russia, with whom he drew at home to a goal and then it was beaten by a 4-1 results moved to the Eredivisie so the decision to change coach took.
Fortunately for them, the latter two dates in the Eredivisie have changed the minds of the followers, adding victories over Go Ahead Eagles and now finally to Vitesse, and ascended to third place in the standings, being five points Feyernoord, the problem is that his game has not improved much, to the point that while I was beat Vitesse suffered much, despite having a player more, but it is expected that these victories have changed the mentality.
