Tuesday at 20:00 pm on the “Johan Cruijff Arena” in Amsterdam, Ajax will receive the visit of the Lille team in a match that will count for the first round of Group H of the Champions League, a group of which are still Chelsea and Valencia.
In order to ensure their participation in the groups, Ajax had to play in the Champions League play-off with APOEL, a team that went after 0-0 behind and 2-0 at “Johan Cruijff Arena”. Instead, for Lille Tuesday night’s duel will practically mark the debut of this Champions League edition.
The confrontation is announced balanced considering the folly that the two teams go through. Ajax goes “clock” in the first league in the Netherlands, being 1st place with 13 points with four wins, one draw and no defeat and a 19-5 goal. On the other side, Lille is in the graph in Ligue 11, being 5th with 9 points, having 3 victories and two defeats and a goal of 7-5.
It will be the first direct confrontation between the two bands in the European Cups. Being the first match of the group, we expect the two teams to take on the prudent duel. Although Ajax is leaving with the first chance in this match, it would not be a surprise for Lille to manage to keep at least one Ajax match in “Johan Cruijff Arena”.
PREDICTION: Ajax to win @ 1,50
