Ajax Amsterdam Faces Eintracht Frankfurt in Europa League Round of 16

The Dutch league leaders host the Bundesliga's third-placed team in the first leg, with both sides seeking a strong start to advance.

Ajax Amsterdam has returned to form this season, leading the Eredivisie after a period of struggles, including a disappointing 2023/24 campaign.
Eintracht Frankfurt, currently third in the Bundesliga, aims to recover from recent domestic defeats to Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
Key players will be absent for both teams: Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen is suspended, while Frankfurt defender Robin Koch is sidelined with a concussion.
The first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 will be played at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam on March 6, with the return leg in Frankfurt on March 13.
Ajax has been in strong form recently, winning eight of their last ten matches, while Frankfurt has struggled with only one win in their last seven games.
