AJAX VS. AC MILAN- PREVIEW, NEWS AND BETTING PREDICTIONS
In probably the most evenly contested match of the week, Dutch giants Ajax play host to Italy's AC Milan at the Amsterdam Arena.
With sports and betting experts struggling to split this game, many are expecting this one to go down to the wire for bragging rights in what has been labelled the ‘Group of Death’
Ajax can simply not afford to lose this clash if Martin Jol’s men are to harbour any realistic expectations of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages.
In something that is very much swaying away from bookie norms, both Ajax and AC Milan are equally split at 2.70 even, with a draw being seen at 3.10
The Dutch outfit will have their work cut out for them as they tackle a Milan contingent who steamrolled Auxerre only a fortnight ago.
With that win, and the Rossoneri boasting as effective attacking line up as any club on the planet, an AC Milan away win is very much a possibility.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in blinding form at present with the Swede already boasting a hat trick this season, as well as knocking in the winner against Genoa this past Saturday.
Ibrahimovic is a good shout to open at the Arena and is priced rather lucratively at 6.0. Brazilian legend Ronaldinho is also a good viewing with William Hill putting him at 2.75
On the Ajax attacking front, Luis Suarez leads the Dutch club’s chances with a 6.50 to open, and 2.5 to score at any point. Suarez is a predator for Ajax, and will be relishing the chance to help fire his team to victory.
There is some serious money for those willing to lay it all on the score prediction line with a 1-0 win for Ajax showing 8.5, to Milan's 9.0
In probably the pick of the lot you will find an 'Over/Under' scenario as an extremely attractive pick. The 'Over 2.5 goals' is currently trading at 2.0 even- and one would think that this is money in the bank.
With both teams harbouring some of the most talented strikers in the world, coupled with a Milan defence being far from watertight right now, this game should see goals a plenty.
This clash is going to be answering a lot of questions for the competition moving forward.
With these two teams not having met in competitive football in seven years, Tuesday bears witness to the resumption of a great rivalry in what should result in an absolute classic
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals to be scored at 2.0
