Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Chelsea vs Ajax

Chelsea

Enzo Maresca's side are making good progress this season, winning five of their last 10 matches, drawing two, and losing three. In their last Champions League match, the "aristocrats" managed to squeeze out the maximum, beating Benfica 1-0 at home. An own goal from the Portuguese helped. It's worth noting that the Blues followed this up with a significant victory in the Premier League, snatching three points at home against Liverpool 2-1. The team entered the international break in good form and spirit.

Ajax

The "Jews" continue to falter, with the team lacking consistency and strong play in recent seasons. Ajax is currently in another slump, with just one win in their last five games. In the Champions League, the Amsterdammers are looking downright awful, with zero points, zero goals scored, and six goals conceded in two matches. In the last round of the European Cup, John Heitinga's men were beaten 4-0 away by Marseille. Ajax are also underperforming domestically. In the last round of the championship, the club drew 3-3 away against Sparta. Counting last season, the team has not won away from home in seven matches.

Game Totals Prediction

Chelsea are having a good season, capable of challenging for top spots on all fronts. Ajax, on the other hand, have been more disappointing, and are failing miserably on the international stage. The teams are currently in mixed form, plus the English are playing at home. Therefore, I expect a third consecutive defeat for the "Jews" in the Champions League: Ajax win with a handicap – Handicap 1(-2) – 2.01.
