Union Saint Gilloise-Ajax, the probable formations

Union Saint Gilloise and Francesco Farioli's Ajax face each other in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs. The Belgian team, third in the Jupiler Pro League, is in great form and has not lost a home game since October. The Dutch team, for its part,  will have to be careful not to underestimate the match, as Union è has become accustomed to high-level challenges.

Pocognoli should rely on the offensive tandem consisting of Fuseini and Ivanovic. In the middle of the field, trust El Hadj, Sadiki and Rasmussen, with Khalaili and Vanhoutte as full-band outsiders.

Farioli, on the other hand, should bet on the attacking trident formed by Brobbey, Berghuis and Traoré. In defense, protecting Pasveer, there will be Sutalo and Baas in the center, with Hato and Gaaei as full-backs.

Probable lineups

Union St Gilloise (3-5-2): Moris; Leysen, Burgess, Mac Allister; Vanhoutte, El Hadj, Sadiki, Rasmussen, Khalaili; Fuseini, Ivanovic. Coach: Pocognoli.

Ajax(4-3-3): Pasveer; Hato, Sutalo, Baas, Gaaei; Taylor, Henderson, Fitz-Jim; Traore, Berghuis, Brobbey. Coach: Farioli.
