Brighton will host Ajax in their third Group B fixture of the Europa League at the Falmer Stadium on Thursday.
Brighton's historic European debut has not gone according to plan - they were beaten by AEK Athens in their first game before they were held by Marseille. They are currently at the bottom of the standings and are winless in their last five fixtures across all competitions.
Ajax's form has been worse as they are winless in eight matches across all competitions. They will hope to avoid a third defeat in a row when they travel to England to face Brighton.
