Ajax vs Besiktas Istanbul Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Nella Wagah | in Champions League Prediction
Ajax are in fine form and deservedly top Group C of the UEFA Champions League after a well executed 5-1 win away to Sporting Lisbon on Match Day 1. They go to Match Day 2, at home, on the back of five straight wins while their opponents Besiktas are seeking their first points after opening with a 2-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund. Ahead of this game, Ajax thumped Groningen 3-0 and have now scored 24 goals in just the last five matches and conceded one. At home they have four straight wins, with clean sheets in all. They have scored three goals or more in all their four matches at home this season. This is the kind of form Ajax will want to carry to the Champions League; they have three wins in five in the competition and failed to score in two. In their last five Champions League matches, Ajax have no clean sheet. It is worse at home; they have four losses in five Champions League matches at home, and scored in only one of the five.
Besiktas head to this game on a very poor run comparatively. They suffered a 2-1 loss to Atlay in their domestic league and are now winless in two matches ahead of this. They have conceded two or more goals in their last four matches and have only one clean sheet in five though they’ve scored in all the five games. All the five games have produced over 2.5 goals and Besiktas have scored two or more in three. Their defending hasn’t been up to scratch; in the last two matches, they’ve scored first but ended up dropping points. In the Champions League, it hasn’t been very rosy for the Turkish side; they have four straight losses and zero clean sheets in the last eight. They’ve conceded two or more in the last four Champions League matches.

Our Ajax vs Besiktas Istanbul Prediction
Dutch side Ajax are the side with the better form here and they are scoring for fun. With five straight wins, the team will definitely be charged for this clash and they take on a struggling Besiktas side. Ajax are playing at home, where they’ve also done well ahead of this game, and leading in both halves like it has been the case in the last five matches, is a reasonable pick.
