Dutch football heavyweight AFC Ajax would play in the UEFA Europa League this time and vie for a place in the group stages in the playoffs.

FC Ludogorets will host Ajax at Huvepharma Arena on Thursday evening to secure a place in the group stages. The Bulgarians overcame the scare of Astana in the third-round qualifying series.

An unlikely place to be, Dutch football and European football giants Ajax eye a place in the Europa League group stages but face Ludogorets. Ajax could only manage a third-place finish last season and settled for a place in the UEL.
