AFC Ajax vs Sporting Lisbon: a Quick Score in Amsterdam

Ajax will play with Sporting at home in the final round of the Champions League group stage. Will Eric ten Hag’s team win the sixth victory in a row and show a maximum result?

In the past match in Turkey, the Ajax’opponent in the Champions League was Beşiktaş. The footballers of Eric ten Haag once again showed their high-level skills and beat the home team with a score of 2:1. For Ajax, this is the fifth victory in a row in the current group stage. With 15 points, the Amsterdam team leads the table in Group C. Sons of the Gods have already secured entry into the playoffs. In the previous weekend, Ajax won another victory within the Eredivisie season – the team did not meet the resistance of Willem II (5:0).

After two defeats at the start, Sporting has made good progress. Rúben Amorim’s wards have won three times. In the last game of the group stage, the Lions hosted Borussia Dortmund. Lisbon outplayed them with a score of 3:1. With nine points, Sporting occupies the second line in the table of Group C. The team also will get into the playoffs of the tournament for sure. Last week, Sporting again impressed fans with a good playing within the Primeira Liga - the team blew 3:1 Benfica away.

• Ajax claimed a victory in all five Champions League group stage matches.
• Sporting has shot at least three goals in three previous matches.
• After ten matches, the Ajax statistics are two or more scored goals in eight Champions League matches.

The upcoming game is not crucial for the tournament situation at all. The teams will remain in their positions with any result: Ajax - on the first line, Sporting – on the second. Sons of the Gods may have a specific motivation – to achieve 100% result in the Champions League group stage. Sporting is also in good form and does not want to interrupt its undefeated streak. In addition, Rúben Amorim’s team will try to take revenge for the terrible home defeat from Ajax (1:5). I expect an offensive game from both teams. As the main bet, I suggest the time of the goals - the first half. You can also consider a total over.

• Both Teams to Score for 1.61
• Total Over (2.5) for 1.49
• Both Teams to Score in First Half for 4.00
