Ajax vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
It’s high in the Champions League, at least in some groups. This certainly includes the pool around Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea FC, who will cross the blades this Wednesday on Matchday 3. With the Valencia CF and the OSC Lille, there are two more teams there who could hope in the run-up to move into the second round.
Currently, Ajax are at the top of the ranking with six points from two games and impressive 6-0 goals. Valencia and Chelsea come in for three points each. Lille will probably be allowed to flirt with two losses at most with the transfer to the Europa League. The Dutchmen from Amsterdam, on the other hand, can make a big step towards playoffs with a home victory.
The match between Ajax and Chelsea is a duel between two formidable teams. Both have recently gone great victories. Therefore, it is probably one of the top games this matchday in the premier class. These are also the games that many neutral spectators in the Champions League will look forward to.
Ajax has coped well with the numerous departures before the season and continues to have a very powerful squad. From the English, we generally know that all of them are capable of good results in the premier class. Therefore, it is not easy to make a specific prediction in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea.
We tend to think everything possible in this duel. This means that we need to look for supposedly safe bets and perhaps approach them with a slightly higher stake. Perhaps a tip on goals from both teams would not be a bad option in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea.
Amsterdam will do its utmost to win the next home win in order to clearly distance a big competitor to move into the next round. If the English win, then in this group H everything would be open again. The kick-off for the third matchday of the Champions League between Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea FC at Johan-Cruyff-Arena takes place on 23.10.2019 at 17:55.
Ajax Amsterdam:
Ajax Amsterdam is playing a superb season so far and has not lost a single competitive match this season. In the Eredivisie, therefore, the Dutch stand with 26 points from ten games at the top of the classification.
Amsterdam have not conceded a goal in their last four European home games and are generally very stable in their own stadium right now. In all competitions, the Dutch have just conceded a goal in the last five home games, but were able to win all eight competitive games in front of their own audience this season.
To win in the Johann Cruyff Arena is therefore a real task this season – even for top teams, with Chelsea FC probably being the toughest nut ever to beat Ajax this season in front of their own crowd. In general, however, the statistics sound like the odds of a home win in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea.
Last weekend Erik ten Hag’s team got a bit hard in the Eredivisie. Ajax was a guest in Waalwijk and maybe the champion was already in the premier class. Dusan Tadic scored the 0: 1, before the home side could compensate. Only a quarter of an hour before the end Quincy Promes scored the 2-1 winner.
For more than a year, Ajax has caused a sensation both nationally and internationally. No wonder that the requests for Coach Erik ten Hag pile up. Together with the problems of FC Bayern, the media is spreading an interest from Munich.
The Ajax coach makes it clear that a call from Bayern could stimulate him to think. First of all, however, the focus is on his current team.
This will have a similar look at the weekend as last in Waalwijk. It is clear that Nicolas Tagliafico moves after his suspension in the Eredivisie in the team. Hakim Ziyech, however, will not be available due to injury, which should mean a huge weakening. Otherwise, Ajax should have all the players on board.
Chelsea:
The Chelsea FC is in the process of making a radical cut. Many great talents from their own offspring are currently establishing themselves in the first team. Therefore, the expectations for the blues this season should not be too high. However, it is currently running in the current phase, at least the results, outstanding.
Chelsea have recently won five competitive games in a row. In the Premier League, the team of Frank Lampard climbed to fourth place. In the fight for the seats for the upcoming premier class, the Londoners will therefore probably be able to play a good role in this season.
The question will be, however, when the big break-in of the youngster comes, because it is clear that there will be no season without fluctuations in shape at the age of 20 years. Right now, however, the Blues’ shape curve is at the upper limit.
Perhaps it would not be inappropriate, then, to give away their predictions for an away win in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea, especially as Chelsea FC have not suffered a defeat in the last nine away games.
Last Saturday, the Blues struck at Stamford Bridge 1-0 over Newcastle United. Even in this match, maturity and patience was required, because up to fifteen minutes before the end it was 0: 0, before Marcos Alonso scored the redemptive winning goal. With up to 70 percent possession, 11: 0 corners and 7: 0 goalshots we must speak of a deserved threesome.
Despite the great series in recent weeks, Frank Lampard knows that his team will not continue to win permanently.
The Blues coach regards the match in Amsterdam as a kind of matriculation exam. He assumes that his team will also have a lot of ball possession in Holland, but it depends on the quality of this ball possession.
On Wednesday, three defenders will have to pass due to injury due to Antonio RĂ¼diger, Andreas Christensen and Emerson. With Rubens Loftus-Cheek, at least one other player will not be in the game. It looks better at N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley. Both are battered but likely to be operational in Amsterdam.
