Ajax have lost to Brighton & Hove Albion for the second time in two weeks (0-2). Manager John Van ’t Schip’s side is even more adrift in last place in Group B of the Europa League. With an away match against Olympique Marseille and a home match against AEK Athens to come, Ajax still has a chance of European Football after the winter break. The third team can qualify for the Conference League, the third-rank European competition. Just two years ago, the Amsterdammers finished their Champions League group stage with six wins out of six.
