The UEFA Champions League returns this Tuesday with a group H battle between Ajax and Chelsea. These teams will both be highly motivated to get the win here as those 3 points will likely be enough to put that team through to the round of 16.
These teams are both tied on 6 points atop the group with Valencia being the main danger to these two in 3rd place currently sitting on 4 points.
Ajax
Ajax will have surprised quite a few people this year as they have maintained a super high standard of play despite losing key players in the summer. The Amsterdam based club are undefeated in their domestic league with 10 wins and 2 draws and top the table by a full 6 points.
Ajax will need to step up to the occasion here as they were defeated by this same Chelsea side last Champions League matchday and now they won’t have the advantage of playing in front of the home crowd. Ajax did have some success in that last game and I would expect them to not change their 4-2-3-1 formation as they have had the most success in that formation.

Hakin Ziyech will either be deployed on the wing or in the center of midfield and next to Dusan Tadic he is the most important offensive player for this team. He has 2 goals in the Champions League thus far, and he has 5 goals and 7 assists in only 11 Eredivisie matches.
This game should have Ajax’s full attention as their weekend game is a pretty straight forward home game against Utrecht and now that they have a 6 point lead atop the table their entire mindset should be on the Champions League.
Chelsea
Frank Lampard seems to have things figured out at Stamford Bridge this season as preseason worries over a summer transfer ban have since passed. This Chelsea team has won 5 straight in the EPL and their last EPL loss was a hard fought 2-1 loss against table toppers Liverpool.
They did lose against Manchester United in the EFL cup, but they did not appear to have much interest in that game as Chelsea essentially put out their second team for that contest.
Despite the scoreline last time out against Watford (2-1 win) they were really in control of that game and never looked in danger of losing any of the points. They had 10 shots on goal in that one and Tammy Abraham and Pulisic both hit the back of the net.
Although Chelsea went with a 4-2-3-1 formation last time against Watford I see them going with the more attacking minded 4-3-3 formation as Ajax will likely score in this one and defending at home won’t work for this Chelsea side.
Free Ajax vs Chelsea Champions League Prediction:
There is not much between these teams at all and thus I do not believe Chelsea should be this big of a favorite even though this one takes place at Stamford Bridge. Ajax are the clear value here at +280 and I am going to go with the Dutch side to get the big road victory and essentially book their spot in the last 16.
