Ajax vs Shelbourne
📖 The Preview
Ajax should have too much for Shelbourne here. They've won four of their last five and are heavy favourites at 72%, and at home in a Conference League knockout they'll be motivated to get the job done. Shelbourne have been inconsistent, winning just a couple of their last ten, and keeping a clean sheet away in Europe against this level looks a big ask. Expect Ajax to control this one and win 2-0 without needing to push for a third.
