Match Facts
Brighton will be the first English side to meet Ajax in the UEFA Europa League group stages; the last time an English side met the Dutch club at all in the competition was in the 2017 final, with Manchester United winning 2-0.
Ajax have lost six of their last seven meetings with English Premier League sides in major European competition (D1) since beating Tottenham 1-0 away from home in the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-19 semi-final first leg.
Brighton have scored twice, and conceded at least twice in both of their UEFA Europa League games this season, but remain without a win in the competition so far (2-3 v AEK Athens, 2-2 v Marseille).
Ajax are unbeaten in their last 11 UEFA Europa League group stage games (W5 D6), since a 1-0 loss at Fenerbahçe in October 2015.
Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke has carried the ball 685m in this season’s UEFA Europa League, more than any other player, while he has also made 47 progressive carries (moving the ball 5+ metres towards the opponent’s goalline), also a tournament high in 2023-24.
