Match Facts
Union Saint-Gilloise and Ajax have never met previously, with Union’s only previous European game against a Dutch side coming earlier this season on MD5 in a 1-0 win over FC Twente.
Ajax are unbeaten in their last five away games in Belgium in all European competitions (W2 D3) since losing 2-1 to Club Brugge in December 2003 in the UEFA Champions League.
Union Saint-Gilloise haven’t won the first leg of a major European knockout tie since April 1959 against Roma in the Fairs Cup. They are winless in 10 first leg matches since then (D4 L6).
Ajax have only won one of their last 10 major European knockout games (D5 L4), beating Bodø/Glimt in last season’s Conference League.
Bertrand Traoré has been involved in five goals in six UEFA Europa League appearances for Ajax this season (3 goals, 2 assists), while he is Ajax’s leading scorer in the competition overall with seven (since 2009-10).
