Ajax vs APOEL Prediction & Betting tips
Ajax and APOEL NIcosia played a 0-0 draw a week ago. So nothing has been decided yet, in this diptych on the threshold of the group stage of the Champions League.
Ajax:
Ajax appeared in Cyprus moderately last week. Apart from a reasonable phase in the first half, the team from Amsterdam remained far below their level. In the end, the semi-finalist of last year was not allowed to grumble with the 0-0 final score. During the ninety minutes the Cypriots were several times dangerous for the goal of Andre Onana. Just like in the previous round, Ajax played a draw in the first match. Noussair Mazraoui took two yellow cards in Nicosia and cannot be used on Wednesday.
A bigger loss is probably the non-participation of Donny van de Beek, who will have to pass in the coming weeks due to an injury. Erik ten Hag has several options to replace Van de Beek, although none of the variants is really ideal. Quincy Promes or David Neres could play behind the striker. Klaas Jan Huntelaar could also get a base place, with which Dusan Tadic drops a line. Perhaps it is more likely that Ten Hag will save Huntelaar as pinchhitter, if something has to be forced in the event of an unfavorable position.
Changes are also possible in the defensive part of the team. Daley Blind is also an option for the central position in the rear. Purchase Edson Alvarez can also play in the back and in the midfield. It is a gamble to give him a basic place in this competition.
APOEL Nicosia:
The Cypriot national champion achieved a final score with perspective last week. Nevertheless, after the satisfaction was not so great on the side of APOEL. Given the moderate shape of the Dutch opponent, more could have been possible. It was APOEL that, especially after the break, caused the greatest danger. With a little more fortune, the Cypriots could have started the return in Amsterdam with a head start.
Just like Ajax, APOEL did not have to play in their national league last weekend. The Cypriots are in the strange situation that they have already played five European matches, but have not played in their own country this season. Midfielder Savvas Gentsoglou received a yellow card in the first leg. This was already the third in this European campaign, so he will have to watch a match.
