Borussia Dortmund vs Ajax Prediction and Analysis

Ajax should go into the match with immense confidence having had the better of this side 2 weeks back despite being held to a stalemate against relegation threatened Eredivisie side Heracles at home in the Eredivisie.

They sit top of the Dutch top division with 26 points, 2 points ahead of PSV despite handing them a demoralizing 5-0 loss recently. 11 games into the season they have won 8 games and have lost just once.

They lead the UCL group with 9 points coming through 3 wins against all 3 sides in the group. They have conceded just a goal in the campaign, having scored 11 goals, which is the second highest by any team in the tournament.

Dortmund has not let the huge defeat in the UCL let them affect their success domestically as their only loss in the preceding 7 games came against this foe. They have been unstoppable in front of the yellow wall and are on a streak of 7 wins at home.

They are off the back of 2 consecutive 2-0 wins against Ingolstadt ad Cologne in cup and league competitions respectively. Both matches were held at the Signal Iduna Park.

A result here for the hosts is important as they are 3 points behind this foe in the second position, with Sporting breathing down their necks with just 3 points separating the teams.

The visitors knowing the quality of the Germans at home will not take too many risks while relying on their excellence in defense. Since a loss here could be catastrophic to the hosts in the campaign, Marco Rose would take a safe first approach to the game.

Hence we are backing the match to end in a draw with not many goals being scored from both teams.

Key Stats for Betting
