Ajax AEK Athens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open, since Ajax plays next to its fans and AEK Athens presents a very fast counterattack. In this way, we believe that Ajax dominates much of the match and creates the best goal opportunities, since it plays at home, but AEK's quick transitions should create several problems for the local team. Given this and also taking into account the defensive failures of the teams, risking in favor of the goals in this game is a good option.

Preview
Ajax and AEK Athens face at Amsterdam ArenA, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them.

Analysis Ajax

The home team qualified for this group stage after having eliminated Dynamo Kyiv in the previous round, with a away draw by (0‑0) and a home win by (3‑1). In their last match, for the Eredivisie, they got a home win against Groningen by (3‑0). In the last 10 home matches Ajax has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3.

They haven’t lost any of the last 6 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 26 of the last 29 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 21 out of 29 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 7 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 6 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.

Ajax heads to this match with a 3-0 win over Groningen, thus adding the ninth straight game without losing in official matches. To reach the group stage of the Champions League, the Dutch overcame Dynamo Kiev in the play-offs. In this home match it is anticipated that coach Erik ten Hag will play in the usual tactical system, that is, 4-3-3, benefiting ball possession and organized attacks: Dusan Tadic is a key player in the Dutch team. Expert Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the team's top scorer in all competitions with 10 goals scored. For this game the manager can not count on Cerny, Veltman and Bandé, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: André Onana, Nicolás Tagliafico, Daley Blind, Noussair Mazraoui, Lasse Schöne, Frenkie de Jong, Hakim Ziyech, Carel Eiting, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, David Neres, Dušan Tadić.
Coach: J. Heitinga.

Analysis AEK

The away team comes to this group stage after having eliminated Videoton, with a home tie by (1‑1) and a away win by (1‑2). In their last match, for the Super League, they got a home win against Panionios by (4‑0). In the last 10 away matches AEK Athens has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 12 of the last 27 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 18 out of 27 have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

AEK Athens comes to this game motivated after a 4-0 win over Panionios in a game to count for the Greek Championship. It should be noted that the Greeks reach this group stage after overcoming Videoton in the play-offs. In this away match the team led by Marinos Ouzounidis should present with a low block, exploring the space on the opponent's back in the best way: Anastasios Bakasetas is the main player in this type of transition. For this game the coach can count on all its players.

Confirmed Lineup: Vasilis Barkas, Uroš Ćosić, Niklas Hult, Vasilis Lampropoulos, Marios Oikonomou, André Simões, Michalis Bakakis, Konstantinos Galanopoulos, Petros Mantalos, Ezequiel Ponce, Viktor Klonaridis.
Coach: O. Zarif.
