Match Preview
Ajax have appeared to be back to their best this season after a disappointing campaign in the Eredivisie last term. The Dutch side have won 19 of 24 in the league this term, and they should be a major contender in the Europa League if able to replicate their domestic performances in the Europa League.
Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a humbling defeat in their latest domestic outing, going down 4-1 against Bayer Leverkusen. However, they are still enjoying one of their best Bundesliga campaigns in recent memory. Frankfurt come into this round of 16 stage as the outstanding pick according to the odds.
