InterMilan vs Ajax Betting Analysis

If you have followed bettingchoice for over a year, please let me apologise in advance for this preview bearing a remarkable similarity to one twelve months ago. Inter Milan aim to become the third Serie A side to make it through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they take on Ajax at the San Siro on Tuesday. The Italians drew 2-2 in the first leg and so would go through with a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Roberto Mancini has warned his players against relying on defence when they play the Dutch side despite pocketing a double in the Amsterdam arena a fortnight ago. According to the Inter coach that would be a dangerous tactic. So far this season, the Italians have scored eleven goals in Europe with seven of those coming at the San Siro. Again just like a year ago, Adriano has contributed four to the total, but unfortunately since the group stages has gone through somewhat of a lean spell. That has though now ended with the Brazilian ending his 10-game goal drought by scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory over Sampdoria last Saturday. Now back on the goal trail and confidence again high, a flurry of goals in the coming weeks wouldn't be a major surprise. Knowing Ajax cannot afford to sit back or risk going out the competition, it should make for an open game. That should suit the pace and power of Adriano upfront, who could be the major beneficiary of the likely open spaces, especially late on in the match. Unfortunately like bettingchoice, Sporting Index have recognised the danger posed by Adriano and have pitched his quote at the 30 mark. We can still though head to IG where there is a slightly more reasonable offering of 28. In addition back the Brazilian to score the first goal at a tempting 4/1. It might be a bit much to hope for a hattrick like the one against Porto at the same stage last season, but a double is a distinct possibility.
