Ajax were very close to a positive outcome in their last game with Liverpool. The Dutch club was minimally defeated by the English team but left a very pleasant impression. They also set a record in the home game,. Ten Hag's team managed to score 13 goals in the game with Venlo. And that is the absolute championship record. Atalanta defeated debutants (FC Midtjylland) in the Champions League without any major problems. The club scored four goals away. But the club expected a 3:1 defeat against Sampdoria in the domestic championship. However, one can draw some parallels to the game in the preliminary round. Atalanta lost 4:1 to Napoli shortly before the European Cup game. Both clubs are obviously fans of offensive football. Ajax are clearly dissatisfied with the result of the game with Liverpool and they don't want to lose to their second opponent. At the same time, Atalanta obviously does not have a reliable defence (which cannot be said about the attack). The duel should be rich in goals.
