Union St Gilloise Form

Union St Gilloise were struggling with efficiency in the Europa League group stages but sneaked into the playoffs with 11 points (three wins, two draws and three defeats).

They were beaten in their most recent UEL appearance against Glasgow Rangers 2-1 at Ibrox in late January, but instantly bounced back with a 2-1 win over St Truiden in the Belgian top flight.

Les Unionistes claimed another victory in First Division A last weekend against Kortrijk 2-1, Mohammed Fuseini and Charles Vanhoutte appearing on the scoresheet.

Ajax Form

Ajax had slightly more success in the Europa League group stages than their upcoming opponents, claiming 13 points in eight matches (four wins, one draw and three defeats).

They were stunned by underdog Rigas FS 1-0 in Latvia in late January, but recovered in the follow up round and beat Galatasaray 2-1 in front of the Amsterdam crowd, Bertrand Traore and Kian Fitz-Jim on target.

Ajax have claimed another two victories in February, winning the Dutch derby against Feyenoord 2-1 followed by a 2-0 road win at Fortuna Sittard last weekend.
