Old-fashioned flash sales for a European match, that was the case on Monday morning! Candidates for the away match against Lille OSC had to be sharp on Monday and were in large numbers since 2589 tickets flew over the digital counter. In short, Ajax is taking a full branch to Lille!
The hunger for an awayday is great because Ajax fans were not allowed to go to the fantastic match against Chelsea (4-4) but in France, Ajax will be supported by a completely filled away section again! The match sold out within an hour.
If Ajax achieves a good result against Lille, the chances of surviving the group stage in the Champions League will get bigger and bigger. The starting position in group H is good but offers no guarantees. At least a few more points are needed.
Supported by a full away side, Ajax must succeed in staying on the right side of the score. After four games played in group H of the Champions League Ajax have to share the first place in the group with both Chelsea and Valencia. Lille comes in fourth with only one point which they captured in the home game against Chelsea (1-1). The game against Lille will be played on Wednesday 27 November.
