A meeting between two emblematic emblems of European football On the one hand, the Dutch Ajax runners-up, on the other three-time European champions Real Madrid.
Ajax vs Real Madrid Champions League Betting Tips
Ajax is a team that begins to recover its space in Europe.
Through its already well-known excellence in training, the Dutch team now have a fine set of youngsters, most of them trained in their academy.
Just to have an idea the average age of the team is under 25 years of age. A very positive but also a negative factor in a highly competitive competition and where experience is sometimes one of the main factors to move forward in a 180 minute round.
For now, the formation of Erik ten Hag has held up well.
They passed the group stage, leaving behind Benfica and showed good football against Bayern Munich, could even have been ahead of the Germans. Today, they are in the worst moment of their time.
He was thrashed at Feyenoord 6-2, and this weekend he lost, surprisingly in Heracles. Results that put the young Dutch away from the first place, now being six points.
Real Madrid seems to have found a new life at the helm of Santiago Solari. There are 18 wins in 24 games, and in the last seven games they have won six and drawn one.
The moment is so significant that the Merengues come from a victory in the field of Atletico Madrid and passed to the 2nd place, being only six points from Barcelona.
Real Madrid went badly in the season, much because of not having managed to surpass post-Ronaldo.
The transfer of the Portuguese to Juventus of the then best of the World, led the team to doubt itself. Lopetegui could not counteract this setback and not even Modric’s election as World’s Best, raised the morale of the Spaniards.
At the moment, the team is cohesive and with well defined ideas to be able to attack the second half of the season in conditions. I venture to say that with Solari from the start, this lineup would be taco with Barcelona in the Spanish League.
It remains to wait for the response of the team that has dominated this competition in recent years in the first game of the kills.
Our Football Prediction Ajax vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid are above all very strong at Santiago Barnabéu and it is there that they have settled their qualifiers in the Champions League.
They are widely favorites in this tie and Solari wants to come from the Netherlands with a favorable result to be able to manage in the Santiago de Barnabéu.
However, on the other side is an Ajax that has proven to be a competent and capable team to surprise. Despite the bad timing, it’s a unique moment for such a young team.
A game with goals against two offensive teams is what I expect in the first 90 minutes.
Betting Tips: Over 4.5 goals
Odds: 3.00
