Atalanta vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
Atalanta Bergamo will host the Dutch record champions Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League on Tuesday. The hosts are only contesting their second season in the premier class.
In the debut last year, the path led straight to the quarter-finals, where they only had to give up the sails against the later finalists PSG, which was very unfortunate. The Dutch again had to let some players go in the summer.
The personal bloodletting was certainly one reason why it started a home bankruptcy against a rather decimated Liverpool. For the match in the Gewiss Stadium between Atalanta Bergamo and Ajax Amsterdam, the prognosis for reasonable odds includes at least three hits and one goal on both sides.
Spectators are not allowed to attend the encounter due to a requirement of the local authorities. Further preliminary reports on the games of the premier class are available in the Champions League tips section.
Atalanta Bergamo:
Bergamo were the most accurate team in Serie A last season and the hunger for goals is still strong. This also applies to the Champions League. Looking back on the last ten games in the competition, the Lombards scored 21 goals.
In the history of the Champions League, this value has only been topped razor-thinly by Real Madrid. Bergamo turned it up again at the start of the current season: The box from Midtjylland was targeted ten times. A value that only Barcelona surpassed on matchday one.
Four of the ten attempts found their way into the goal of the Danes, whereby a clear away win could be landed for the newcomer in the premier class. Here, Zapata and Muriel met, among other things, the two outstanding goal getters of the past season.
Both scored 18 goals each in the last season of Serie A and are now continuing scoring goals uninterrupted. Another Atalanta striker is currently in a particularly good mood. We are talking about Alejandro Gomez from Argentina.
The 32-year-old has often been overshadowed by the aforementioned duo in the last few seasons, but he is currently showing himself to be extra strong in the end. The offensive force met in four of his last six appearances.
Ajax Amsterdam:
In Amsterdam you have to bake smaller rolls this season: Without top players like Hakim Ziyech or Donny van de Beek, who now both lace up their football boots in the Premier League, the white-reds are less likely to be rated.
On the offensive, the hopes are even more on Dusan Tadic. The Serb also delivers in the Eredivisie, where he scored four goals in the first six match days. However, Tadic has been without a goal celebration in the premier class for a long time.
After the 31-year-old had a great result of six goals in his first eight games in the competition, the performances subsequently fell. The Eredivisie’s top scorer in 2019 has been waiting for his next goal for eleven games in the Champions League.
But the use of newcomer Antony in the team of coach Erik ten Haag is no longer at risk. The 20-year-old junior international from Brazil immediately integrated very well at Ajax. He scored in four of his six league appearances. He had to pass against Liverpool due to an injury, but Antony is available again on Tuesday.
The “Godenzonen” can also be encouraged by their away record in the continental competition: The White-Reds have not lost in nine away games (6-3-0).
