Ajax will host Liverpool in the Champions League group stage 5th round. The home side wants to break its three-game losing streak in this competition, while the visitors aim to secure the top-two finish.
Ajax Preview & Team News
Ajax fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 4-1 Eredivisie success versus RKC Waalwijk. However, they are not so happy after three straight losses in the Champions League. Ajax seeks the way back to the winning track, but the Reds come to town. Three or more goals per match have been seen in 5 of the last six fixtures in which Ajax has taken part. Opposing sides scored 15 of them in these games, whereas Ajax managed a tally of 19. Ahmetcan Kaplan (Partial damage to the cruciate ligament) and Mohamed Ihattaren (Fitness) will be missing for Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder.
Liverpool Preview & Team News
Since tasting defeat last time out to Nottingham Forest in Premier League competition, Liverpool will be aiming to make amends here. If they don’t lose here, the Reds will secure a place in the knockout round since they have already collected nine points. Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool has managed to stick the ball in the net 13 times throughout their latest sextet of matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during that same period adds up to 5. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has to choose a team with limited availability. Naby Keïta (Hamstring Injury), Joel Matip (Calf Injury), Luis Díaz (Knee Injury), Diogo Jota (Calf Injury), and Arthur Melo (Surgery) will miss out on this game. The player ineligible for this match because of suspension is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Liverpool hasn’t impressed so far in the season, and the visitors won’t have an easy job in Amsterdam. We don’t think Ajax will lose this game, and they could keep the top-two finish battle interesting.
Goals Market Prediction
Ajax has been involved in many high-scoring games recently, and this one shouldn’t be much different. That’s why we think the crowd will enjoy at least four goals in this encounter.
