Ajax vs Sion Preview
Ajax arrive at the Johan Cruijff Arena holding a comfortable 4-2 aggregate advantage and riding a wave of superb form. Míchel Sánchez's side are unbeaten across their last nine matches, winning seven of those. Their possession-heavy, high-tempo attacking style has produced an average of 2.6 goals per game over the last five outings. Julian Brandt has been particularly influential, netting four times in his last six appearances.
Sion face a daunting task needing to overturn a two-goal deficit on hostile ground. Didier Tholot's men have shown inconsistency, collecting just one win from their last five matches. They will not sit back, though; Sion have scored in each of their last four fixtures, with Winsley Boteli Mokango leading the charge courtesy of three goals in six outings. Expect them to push forward aggressively from the start.
Ajax's home record makes the case for a straight home win at 1.26 almost impossible to ignore. Míchel Sánchez's side have won four of their last five at the Johan Cruijff Arena, averaging over two goals per game in that stretch. With a two-goal aggregate cushion already secured, the pressure sits squarely on Sion's shoulders, and Ajax can afford to play with freedom and attacking intent.
The over 2.5 goals market at N/A looks well supported by the evidence. Ajax have averaged 2.6 goals scored per game across their last five outings, while Sion have found the net in each of their four most recent fixtures. Didier Tholot's men must chase the tie aggressively, which should leave gaps for Julian Brandt and Ajax's rapid transitions to exploit repeatedly.
Both teams to score at N/A rounds out the selections. Sion proved in the first leg they are capable of breaching Ajax's rearguard, netting twice. Winsley Boteli Mokango, with three goals in six matches, offers a genuine focal point. Ajax's occasional defensive wobbles, notably that 2-2 draw with Heerenveen, suggest clean sheets are not guaranteed even at home. Odds correct at time of publication.

Medium confidence
A mirror 4-3-3 vs 4-3-3 contest shapes up at the Johan Cruyff Arena, with Ajax's midfield trio carrying genuine quality. Julian Brandt operating alongside Davy Klaassen and Youri Regeer gives the hosts creativity and experience in the engine room, while Marcos Leonardo leads the line with pace.
Sion arrive organised but face a considerable step up in class. Their own 4-3-3 will look to press high through Chouaref and Mokango, yet containing Oscar Gloukh in the half-spaces could prove the Swiss side's most demanding defensive assignment across both legs.
