AFC Ajax
Most forecasts predicted that de Godenzonen would achieve the late stages of the Europa League 2016/2017 because Ajax were lucky with the draw both at the Group and the Final Stages prior to this match.
The Amsterdam's outfit trumped over a quartet consist of Celta de Vigo, Standard Liège and Panathinaikos with 14 points after 6 games and then met such ordinary competitors like Legia Warszawa (0:0, 1:0) and København (1:2, 2:0). However they turned to be tougher than the ones the Dutch dealt with in the group. Or maybe the Peter Bosz lads already lost their pace?
However the recent domestic games don't reflect that. The North Holland dwellers beat the league leaders Feyenoord 2:1 and then cracked down AZ 4:1 and NEC 5:1. An excellent run and current 2nd spot for Ajax in the Eredivisie table.
FC Schalke 04
The Germans can not boast of such string of successes. Schalke have had wins very rarely in 2017. They were triumphant at their Europa League group like Ajax, finishing with 15 points, but have also struggled at the knock-out stage, beside the first round's first leg away victory over PAOK 3:0. Then there were three dead heats: 1:1 in the return fixture against PAOK, after that 1:1 and 2:2 with fellow countrymen from Monchengladbach (Schalke went through thanks to away goals rule).
The Bundesliga rejects The Miners as well. Only a midtable position and 4 wins in 7 fixtures of 2017 belong to Schalke. Especially appalling the troops guided by manager Markus Weinzierl have been recently on the road: 1 win, 1 draw, 4 defeats and 15 goals conceded.
Ajax vs Schalke Predictions
Kasper Dolberg, the prolific scorer of Ajax, has an injury while midfielder L. Schone is suspended. There would be a chance for Schalke to keep a clean sheet at last, if there weren't their own absentees. They are defenders D. Aogo, Naldo, B. Rahman, plus attacker B. Embolo. So we may not predict a success for the visiting side's back line. Yet we suggest to back the Dutch.
