Ajax are on something of a roll, having won their last seven matches in all competitions, racking up 20 goals in the process. With ten Europa League wins on the spin at the Johan Cruijff Arena, a victory tonight for the Dutch Champions would see them equal the record for most successive home wins in this competition.
By contrast, Paulo Fonseca's Roma come into this clash in wretched form, having managed to register just a single point from their most recent three fixtures in Serie A. Key to any Roma success tonight will be in nullifying Ajax key man and former Southampton star Dusan Tadic, who has been directly involved in nine goals in European competition for the home side, hitting the five times and creating four assists.

How to watch Europa League football from outside your country
Scroll down for all the ways you can watch the Europa League online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the season, you probably won't be able to watch the footy like you normally would at home.
This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in. Don't sweat it, though, as you've got the option of using a VPN to tune to your preferred coverage wherever you are.
