Ajax – Latest Team News & Statistics
Ajax unexpectedly experienced a very good weekend in the Eredivisie. The win over RKC (1-4) was no surprise, but the fact that rivals PSV, Feyenoord and AZ all dropped points was. The Amsterdammers created a four-point gap with the rest of the league in the last round of play.
Steven Berghuis and Brian Brobbey were the standouts in the league game with RKC. Both players scored twice and Berghuis also provided an assist. Brobbey’s good performances seem to have earned him a place in the Amsterdam squad, but that could change on Wednesday. Coach Alfred Schreuder has also previously opted to start Mohammed Kudus in the striker’s box during Champions League games.

The upcoming match against Liverpool is a very important one for Ajax. They are already six points behind the English club, so a draw or defeat rules out wintering in the Champions League. Ajax is third and the lead over number four Rangers is three points. The Amsterdammers also need to stay ahead of the Scots to possibly still enter the Europa League.
Liverpool – Latest Team News & Statistics
Liverpool are not enjoying a strong season so far. The Reds are in a disappointing eighth place in the Premier League and seem to have dropped out of the battle for the title very early on. Last Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s team also went down again on a visit to low-flying Nottingham Forrest. Despite plenty of possession, Liverpool failed to find the net.
In the Champions League, things are going much better, as Liverpool are second in the group with nine points and need just one more point to qualify for the knockout stage. The English superpower lost only to Napoli in the first group match. Later, Liverpool won against Ajax and twice against Rangers. The last game was won by a whopping 1-7 visiting Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team.
One piece of luck for Ajax: Liverpool’s sickbay is well filled. For instance, Naby Keïta, Joël Matip, Arthur Melo, Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota are all injured. Liverpool will therefore not travel to Amsterdam with the strongest selection.
Ajax – Liverpool Previous encounters
When Ajax visited Liverpool in September, one thing quickly became clear: Liverpool were much stronger. The Amsterdammers did not actually get a chance to play football. Yet Ajax managed to equalise after falling behind through a magnificent goal by Kudus. Schreuder’s team seemed to hold on for long, but things went wrong shortly before time. Matip headed Liverpool to a 2-1 victory in the 89th minute, giving his side three very important points.

Ajax – Liverpool Picks, Predcition & Betting Tip
It promises to be a beautiful match, in which Ajax must necessarily perform. Liverpool will have enough for a draw. So the teams will go into the match with a slightly different attitude. Ajax won comfortably last weekend and Liverpool lost. In the previous match between Ajax and Liverpool, the English were narrowly too strong due to a late goal. We expect Schreuder’s side to have a better chance of getting a good result at home. Indeed, our prediction is for Ajax to win or for the game to end in a draw. This betting tip yields a odds of 21/20.
