Ajax face Getafe at Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam on Thursday, Dec 17 at 9:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the League Stage, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Ajax come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Getafe, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ajax and Getafe have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Ajax won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.5 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Ajax win or a draw looks most likely.
