Ajax vs. Liverpool Prediction

• Where: Amsterdam Arena, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
• When: Wednesday, October 26, 9 pm ET

Ajax meets Liverpool this Wednesday at the Amsterdam Arena, desperate for a win, which would keep them in the race for the knockout stage. Even with three points in this one, the Lancers don’t control their destiny. The Reds are in terrible shape, once again disappointing. As soon as we start thinking that Jurgen Klopp’s team found its pace, they contradict our thoughts. Losing to Forest after beating Man City is a perfect example of it.

Ajax vs. Liverpool Preview

Ajax

The Lancers experienced one pretty nasty reality check against Napoli. All the plans, the projections, talk about their power, all that stopped following two contests against the Italians. A 1-6 loss at home was one of the most devastating in their history, and a 4-2 defeat in Naples brought the Lancers back to the ground.

The Dutch champs had two confident victories in the Eredivise following that, at home against Excelsior, 7-1, and against RKC in Waalwijk 1-4. These teams don’t have notable quality, but these wins are good for morale.

Ajax’s games are very efficient, and just one in the past then didn’t end with three or more scores. Seven of them were with at least four scores, and the most recent eight saw both teams netting.

Liverpool

As said, Liverpool defeats Man City in one week and then loses to the worst team in the EPL the other. The final result at the City Ground in Nottingham was 1-0 for the hosts, who managed to exploit L’Pool’s terrible defense.

Jurgen Klopp has troubles in the back line, and the odd thing is that this part of the team didn’t suffer any major changes, like the attack or the midfield. Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold underachieve a lot and are to be blamed for the current situation.

The Reds played seven games on the road this year, winning just one with four defeats and two draws. Five of those games saw over 2.5 goals, and the same events were with both teams netting. By the way, the Reds managed to post just one clean sheet.

Ajax versus Liverpool Head to Head

The Reds won the game at Anfield, but they did it with Joel Matip netting in the finish. We have to say that the Reds didn’t impress in that event, and a draw wouldn’t be an unfair outcome.

Ajax and Liverpool met in the group stage in 2020, and the Reds won in both encounters with the same result, 1-0.

Ajax vs. Liverpool Prediction

Liverpool has massive troubles with defense, and Ajax hasn’t been tough in that area as well, which is why our pick here is for both teams to score.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
