Latest Ajax vs Lazio team information
Ajax are expected to recall captain Jordan Henderson on Thursday after missing him with a hamstring injury at the weekend. Devyne Rensch could return from injury, but Sivert Mannsverk is out and Owen Wijndal is suspended. Mika Godts, who came on as a substitute against AZ, could start in place of out-of-position Chuba Akpom.
Godts and Kenneth Taylor are Ajax's top scorers in the Europa League this season, with three goals each. Taylor could become only the second player in Ajax's history to score in four consecutive home games in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, after Dennis Bergkamp, who did so from 1991-92.
For Lazio, Pedro is their top scorer in the Europa League this season with three goals, and could return to the starting line-up when Marco Baroni makes changes ahead of Monday's clash with Inter Milan. Tijjani Noslin, fresh from a hat-trick against Napoli in the cup, could feature, while Taty Castellanos retains his place after serving a suspension against Inter.
Baroni will welcome back Matias Vecino from injury and Nicolo Rovella, who has served a one-match suspension.

Latest Ajax vs Lazio football review
Ajax lost their last Europa League game 2-0 to Real Sociedad in San Sebastian, despite hitting the post twice, denying them the chance to win their first group game this year. However, Ajax have won both of their home games, beating Besiktas 4-0 and scoring five goals against Maccabi Tel Aviv without conceding. With 10 points, the team is sixth in the standings, clear of the playoff spots on goal difference.
Ajax have been impressive in terms of goalscoring, conceding fewer goals than Lazio and Athletic Bilbao, keeping three clean sheets in the Europa League and six in the league. However, Francesco Farioli's side lost 1-0 to AZ Alkmaar and drew 2-2 with Utrecht, leaving them third in the Eredivisie, nine points behind PSV Eindhoven. With their 12-game unbeaten run ended, Ajax will now turn their attention to Europe, where they are winless in their last 12 home games against Italian sides.

Lazio lead the group with 13 points and are on the verge of reaching the last 16.
