Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Ajax vs Liverpool

Ajax

In the Dutch championship, the "God's sons" started with six wins in a row, and then stumbled in matches with AZ Alkmaar (1-2) and Go Ahead Eagles (1-1). Schröder's team won the next three matches with a total score of 15-4, strengthening their lead.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Ajax won a bright victory over Glasgow Rangers (4-0), but after that they did not score points: they could not keep a draw with Liverpool (1-2) and lost to Napoli without a chance (1-6 and 2-4 ). In the standings, he takes 3rd place, where, most likely, he will remain.

Liverpool

In the Premier League, the Reds won only 4 wins in 11 rounds. Not so long ago, they beat Man City at home (1-0), then defeated West Ham with the same score, but in the last round they unexpectedly lost to an outsider - Nottingham Forest (0-1). In the standings, Klopp's team takes only 8th place, already 12 points behind the leader.

So far, everything is simple in the Champions League: three wins in 4 rounds, and this practically guarantees Liverpool a place in the 1/8 finals. At the start of the group stage, the Merseysiders lost miserably to Napoli (2-4), then dealt with Ajax (2-1) with some difficulty, but in the two-legged confrontation with the Glasgow Rangers they had no problems: 2-0 and 7-1 (4 goals by Salah, 3 assists by Jota, 2+1 by Firmino).

Game Totals Prediction

At Anfield, in the second round, Liverpool's lead was overwhelming, but the victory came with a minimum score and with a decisive goal in the 89th minute: 2-1. Football will be completely different in Amsterdam, because Ajax regularly scores at home, and Liverpool shows an unstable game and often concedes away. We have no doubts that the match will turn out to be spectacular and productive, so here you can safely take “both teams to score” for 1.47 or Total over (3.0) for 1.75. You definitely can’t believe in an easy victory for the Merseysiders, so there is a reason to bet on Ajax with Handicap (+1.0) for 1.57.
