We say: Union SG 1-1 Ajax

While both sides are improving, neither score bucket loads of goals, so a tight contest could unfold across the two legs. An away draw would set Ajax up as favourites to progress after next week's return, and they should be able to keep in-form Union at arm's length. Read more.
