The action continues in the UEFA Europa Conference League as AFC Ajax Amsterdam and Bodo/Glimt square off at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Thursday.
The Norwegian outfit have lost their last three competitive away matches and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell.
AFC Ajax Amsterdam were sent crashing back to earth in the Eredivisie as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Heerenveen at the Abe Lenstra Stadion last Sunday.
Prior to that, John van’t Schip’s men were unbeaten in their four league matches to start the new year, picking up 10 points from a possible 12 in that time.
Ajax, who are currently fifth in the Eredivisie table, now head to the Conference League playoffs after crashing out of the Europa League courtesy of a third-place finish in Group.
Elsewhere, Bodo/Glimt concluded their mid-season friendlies last Thursday with a resounding 4-0 victory over Swedish outfit Malmo.
The Glimt’s last competitive game came on December 14, when they were beaten 3-1 by Club Brugge in their final game in Group D of the Conference League.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men picked up three wins and lost two of their six Conference League games to collect 10 points and finish runners-up in Group D.
