- Vojvodina have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their five home games in all competitions.

- Ajax have won the last two head-to-heads, including a 3-1 win away from home in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2024.
Ajax favourites to take advantage of home advantage
Ajax are the top pick in the outright market at 1.82 for Thursday's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 encounter with FK Vojvodina Novi Sad, who are 3.95 with the Draw at 4.0.
The bookmakers have this about right as the Dutch side have the better of the two clubs in the last 2 head-to-heads and were much the better side in the most recent meeting in 2024.
In general, the form and performances of the teams point to a clear Ajax advantage, but there is enough evidence to suggest that the hosts can make a good account of themselves at Karadjordje Stadium in Serbia to keep the tie competitive.
Miroslav Tanjga has made Vojvodina a tough nut to crack at home.
Vojvodina's record of 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 defeats in the last 10 games is a little patchy and it's clear they are a better side at home than away from Novi Sad.
Tanjga, who took charge on 3 March 2025, has made his team tough to break down on their own patch with his compact 4-2-3-1 system. They will look to stay organized and absorb pressure before hitting Ajax with fast breaks.
Vojvodina's last two home results have been a win and a loss, but they suffered back-to-back losses to Ferencvarosi TC in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 tie.
This will be a classic control vs counter encounter with Ajax looking to pin Vojvodina back in their own half and Vojvodina looking to counter-attack when they get the ball.
The Dutch giants are unbeaten in three on the road with two wins and a draw, conceding 0 goals, which is an impressive record, and it gives their status as favourites for this tie a serious bite.
Ajax have won four, drawn three and lost three of their last 10 in all competitions and are the steadier of the two sides in terms of overall control.
Michel has been in charge since 30 June 2026 and seems to have Ajax playing with more fluidity and being more proactive on the ball. They played with more tempo and got better at pressing opponents together in their two most recent matches, a 1-1 draw with VfL Bochum and a 1-0 victory over Olympiakos Piraeus FC, both Friendly Club Matches 2026.
Ajax's away clean sheet run is the most significant factor in their favour, but Vojvodina have conceded just four goals in five home fixtures, so they can stay in the game for long enough to cause the visitors some problems. The most likely scenario is that Ajax will win, but Vojvodina can keep it tight enough for a close affair.
