Match of the Week Europa League: Financial head-to-head Ajax v Brighton

Buoyed by a comfortable 2-0 victory in their last encounter, Brighton seeks to repeat the success in Amsterdam to secure a coveted top two position in their Europa League group.

After a historically poor season start, Ajax have won back-to-back Eredivisie games since their loss at Brighton, prompting hope for the Dutch side.

In the financials, Brighton and Ajax have been neck and neck, with the Seagulls showing a slightly higher turnover and wage bill in 2022.

Ajax's squad value has taken a massive hit from summer departures in Jurrien Timber, Kudus and Edson Alvarez. Meanwhile, Brighton's rising stars - notably Evan Ferguson - have bolstered their squad's value, mitigating the impact of Caicedo's departure.
