Ajax vs Liverpool Predictions

• Ajax have won five of their last seven home games and need a win to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
• Ajax have scored three or more goals in six of their eight games in Amsterdam.
• Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their last nine games.
• Brian Brobbey has four goals in his last two games.

Liverpool clash a must-win match-up for Ajax

Liverpool’s revival was brought to an end on Saturday as they slipped to a 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest and they now face another tough trip as they head to Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Anfield outfit had won three games in a row prior to their loss at the City Ground but they have struggled away from Merseyside all season.

Ajax need to win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive and a point would be good enough for Liverpool to qualify for the next round.

Ajax look overpriced

It is hard to have any confidence in Liverpool away from home as their only road win has come at Rangers and they have lost four of their other six away games.

Three of those defeats have come in their last four trips, and as Ajax need to go all out for the win the hosts look a big price to claim all three points.

The Amsterdam outfit have five wins and just one defeat in their last seven home games and managed wins over the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon at the Johan Cruijff Arena last season. As such, Ajax may well be able to get the better of this out-of-sorts Liverpool outfit who are missing the likes of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and potentially Darwin Nunez on Wednesday.

Goals at both ends looks likely

Both teams scored in the reverse fixture, a 2-1 win for Liverpool, and it seems likely both defences will be breached again this week, as Ajax have conceded in each of their last eight games and Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their last nine games.

It could pay to be bold with the correct score selection and a 3-2 win for Ajax has some appeal. The Dutch giants have scored at least three goals in six of their games in Amsterdam and Liverpool have scored at least twice in three of their four group stage games in this competition.

Young Ajax striker Brian Brobbey is worth a mention as a potential anytime scorer as he should go into the game full of confidence, having score twice in each of his last two appearances – meaning he has five goals in his last four games despite starting just two of those.
