RFS vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

With only 2 points obtained during the first 6 days, the RFS only occupies the 34th spot in the ranking of this Conference League and its chances of being able to access the next round are now very reduced or even completely zero. The Latvians have also been defeated 3 times in the last 4 days played against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0, Anderlecht 1-1, PAOK Salonika 0-2 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-1. In the championship, the Riga players won the title by finishing at the top of the rankings at the beginning of November but they have not played in official competition since mid-December. Opposite, Ajax is in ambush trying to find a place in the top 8 of this Europa League and try to obtain a direct ticket for the 1/8 finals without having to go through the play-offs next month. The Dutch started strong in the tournament before losing their last two duels against Real Sociedad 2-0 and against Lazio 1-2.

As a result, they fell to 11th position in the ranking with a small point behind the top 8.  In the championship, the Lancers made up a good part of their gap on the leader, PSV, by achieving 3 wins in a row against FC Omniworld 3-0, Sparta Rotterdam 0-2 and RKC Waalwijk 2-1. On Sunday, they travel to the Heerenveen field.

The RFS squad is not really up to par with that of Ajax but it is still necessary to highlight the presence of certain interesting elements. We inevitably think of the formidable Latvian international Ikaunieks who scored 16 goals during the last local championship. He also scored 7 times in 10 matches played in this Europa League (qualifying included). Watch out for the Ivorian Ismaël Diomandé (11 goals in the league) or the Serbs Lemajic (10 goals) and Panic (8 goals).

For their part, Ajax should go to the Baltic without the relatively little-used defender Wijndal and without the very important Klaassen (6 league goals) who are both missing at the moment. As for the forces present, we can cite the former Lyonnais Traoré (5 goals) in particular or the Batavian international Weghorst who has 6 goals to his credit in Eredevisie. In C3, the most prominent men are the midfielder Taylor, the young Belgian Godts and the Englishman Akpom who scored 4 goals each.

• Summary: RFS is going head to head with Ajax starting on 23 Jan 2025 at 20:00 UTC at Daugava Stadium stadium, Riga city, Latvia. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
