Two clubs whose 2020/21 European journey started out in the UEFA Champions League meet in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 as Dutch giants Ajax host Swiss title holders Young Boys, who are appearing at this stage of the competition for the first time. • 's Ajax finished third in UEFA Champions League Group D during the autumn, behind Liverpool and Atalanta, before kicking off their record-breaking ninth appearance in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase by beating Ligue 1 high fliers LOSC Lille 2-1 twice in the round of 32, their winning goals arriving late in both matches. • 's Young Boys were eliminated by Midtjylland in the UEFA Champions League qualifying phase but finished as runners-up to Roma in UEFA Europa League Group A before securing their maiden round of 16 berth with an impressive 6-3 aggregate victory over a side led by ex-Ajax coach Peter Bosz (4-3 h, 2-0 a). This is the furthest the Berne club have gone in a European competition since they reached the quarter-finals of the 1987/88 Winners' Cup, where they were knocked out by Ajax. Previous meetings • That European Cup Winners' Cup last-eight tie 33 years ago is the only time the clubs have met previously, the Amsterdam club winning both legs 1-0 en route to the final, which they lost by the same score to Belgian side KV Mechelen. • Ajax have won ten of their previous 14 matches against Swiss opposition (D2 L2), with identical home and away records of W5 D1 L1. Their most recent encounters, against Thun in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage, both yielded victories (2-0 h, 4-2 a). The Amsterdam side have won two and lost one of their three two-legged knockout ties against Swiss clubs, though the defeat came in the most recent, against Lausanne in the 2000/01 UEFA Cup second round (0-1 a, 2-2 h). • Young Boys have played six previous matches against Dutch clubs, including two in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage against Ajax's traditional rivals Feyenoord, a 2-0 home win preceding a 1-1 draw in Rotterdam to make their overall record against opposition W2 D1 L3. They have yet to win in the Netherlands (D1 L2). Form guide Ajax • Although no Dutch title was awarded in 2019/20, Ajax were leading the standings at the time of the Eredivisie stoppage in March and were entered directly into this season's UEFA Champions League group stage. • The Amsterdam club's 16th participation in the UEFA Champions League group stage ran along similar lines to their 15th, a 0-1 home defeat on Matchday 6, against Atalanta, sending the 2018/19 semi-finalists out of the competition and into the UEFA Europa League knockout phase. Defeated 1-0 by Liverpool home and away, Ajax did the double over Danish debutants Midtjylland (2-1 a, 3-1 h), their only other point coming from a 2-2 draw at Atalanta in which they surrendered a two-goal lead. • Victory over LOSC enabled Ajax to come through the UEFA Europa League round of 32 for only the fourth time in their nine attempts. Their round of 16 record is W1 L2, eliminations by Spartak Moskva in 2010/11 (0-1 h, 0-3 a) and Dnipro in 2014/15 (0-1 a, 2-1 aet h) preceding success against Copenhagen (1-2 a, 2-0 h) in 2016/17, when they went on to reach the final, which they lost 2-0 to Manchester United. • Ajax have won all of their last eight home games in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, making their overall competition record in Amsterdam during the spring W10 L4. Additionally, their last nine home games in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, have also resulted in victory, and they are unbeaten in 14 (W11 D3) since going down 0-3 to Salzburg in the first leg of the 2013/14 round of 32. Young Boys • Champions of for the third season running in 2019/20, and the 14th time in all, Young Boys lost last season's UEFA Champions League play-off on away goals to Crvena zvezda but reached the UEFA Europa League group stage, where they finished third in a section containing , Rangers and Feyenoord. • YB missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification again this season, losing 3-0 at Midtjylland in the third qualifying round after winning their opening tie 3-1 at home to KÍ Klaksvík. However, they beat Tirana 3-0 at the Stadion Wankdorf in the UEFA Europa League play-offs to reach the competition's group stage for the seventh time, and further progress ensued despite losses at home (1-2) and away (1-3) to Roma as they beat CSKA-Sofia twice (3- 0 h, 1-0 a) and took four points off CFR Cluj (1-1 a, 2-1 h). • Victory over Leverkusen in the round of 32, a tie in which scored three goals and two, enabled Young Boys to progress to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League for the first time. • The Berne club's win at the BayArena was only their third victory in the club's last 26 European away games (D8

L15), their record on the road in the UEFA Europa League proper now standing at W4 D8 L12. Links and trivia • YB's Serbian striker was an Ajax player from 2008 to 2013, scoring 38 goals in 158 appearances for the Amsterdam club and helping them win three Dutch league titles and one domestic cup. He had played for another Eredivisie side, Heerenveen, in 2007/08, scoring in both league games against Ajax. • Sulejmani and Ajax skipper Dušan Tadić have both played international football for Serbia, while (2008–11), (2010–13) and (2012/13) are all former team-mates of Sulejmani in Amsterdam. • Ajax's tenth participation in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, is a competition record that they share with Salzburg. The Dutch club have only featured in the group stage twice but have appeared in the knockout phase nine times, more than any other club. • Ajax are one of three former European Cup winners in this season's UEFA Europa League round of 16, alongside Manchester United and AC Milan. They are also one of three former UEFA Cup winners in the last 16, in addition to Shakhtar Donetsk and Tottenham Hotspur, with United the only previous winners of the UEFA Europa League. • Young Boys have scored at least once in all of their last 17 UEFA Europa League games, play-offs included. The last time they failed to find the net was on Matchday 4 of the 2017/18 season when they lost 0-1 at home to Dynamo Kyiv. • Following their round of 32 success against Leverkusen, the Berne club are now the highest-scoring Swiss side in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, with 79 goals – five more than Basel. • Ajax and Young Boys both currently top their domestic league standings, the Dutch side leading the Eredivisie by six points with a game in hand on second-placed PSV Eindhoven while their Swiss opponents are 19 points clear in the Super League.
