Ajax vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
Wet your chest for ninety minutes of spectacle! In the last round of group D of the Champions League, Ajax and Atalanta will compete directly for the very last ticket for a place in the eighth finals. The visitors have the best credentials, but if the team from Amsterdam win they will knock the Italians out of second place.
Ajax:
Only the victory counts for Ajax on Wednesday evening. If they win, the team from Amsterdam will join the last sixteen of the Champions League, and if they lose points, they will be sentenced to the knockout phase of the Europa League. That would certainly not be a shame in this very tough group, but if you really want to join the European top, it is important that you regularly overwinter in the Champions League. The Amsterdam treasurer will also be full of tension in front of the TV, because the extra money is more than welcome in these times of corona.
So we can say that Ajax will play its most important match of the season on Wednesday evening. The team from Amsterdam had a bad dress rehearsal, because last weekend they lost 1-2 to FC Twente in their own Johan Cruijff Arena. Losing is never fun, but secretly I think that trainer Erik ten Hag is not bad. After all, now everyone is on edge again – a wake up call prior to such a final as the duel against Atalanta cannot hurt. However, Ajax will have to do without a few strong players against the Italians. Mohammed Kudus is still in the Amsterdam infirmary, while the participation of Lassina Traore, David Neres, Nicolas Tagliafico and Noussair Mazraoui is also questionable. ‘I am hopeful that at least Mazraoui and Tagliafico will be there,’ said Ten Hag. ‘I also have high hopes for Neres. Traore also trains, but is the biggest doubt. ‘
Atalanta:
Atalanta was surprised last week by the Danish Midtjylland, which managed to take her first ever point in the Champions League with a 1-1 draw. The point loss, however, was without major consequences, as the Italian starting point remains unchanged. As long as the employer of Hans Hateboer, Marten de Roon and Sam Lammers does not lose, they will continue to the knockout phase of the Champions League, just like last year. If not, a continuation in the Europa League awaits after the winter break.
With only one victory in the last six official matches and a provisional ninth place in Serie A, Atalanta is still unable to match her performance of last season. However, the men of trainer Gian Piero Gasperini will appear fresh and fruity at the kick-off on Wednesday-evening, because last weekend’s competition match visiting Udinese was canceled due to a soaking wet field. The Italians are not without worries, however, as Robin Gosens recently tested positive for corona, while Mattia Caldara and Lammers can also write the squatter against Ajax on their stomach due to injuries.
