The Azeris are doing well and will see this as a good chance to get 3 points to help their bid for top a top 16 place. And their home form is solid.
Ajax are utter garbage. Pointless from 5 games. Only 1 goal scored. Already gone through 2 coaches this season. And they've got a big game v Feyenoord at the weekend. Surely they know they've no chance of getting through the groups, and won't be dragging any players with knocks to the edge of Iran instead of letting them recover and prepare for the big one.
