Chelsea, who has been on a nice run of late, will travel this Wednesday to Holland to go up against Ajax in Champions League action. Ajax will look to go toe to toe with one of the big boys of world football and once again prove that they are for real.
Chelsea
Chelsea has been rock solid as of late winning their last 5 games on the trot and it really looks like Frank Lampard has this young team on the right track. There last game was a tough fought battle at home against Newcastle in which Marcos Alonso was able to get the game winning goal in the 73rd minute.
They only managed to win the game 1-0, but Newcastle loves to get numbers behind the ball and can be really tough to break down.

In their last Champions League game Chelsea got a solid win on the road against a tough Lille side who finished second in the league last year. Frank Lampard deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation and it would not surprise me if he goes back to that as his tactics should be similar.
Chelsea will need to defend a lot in this game as Ajax has a ton of great young offensive players so having a dynamic backline like the 3-4-2-1 gives you might be able to create the balance Chelsea needs in order to get the W.
Ajax
Ajax came ever so close last year to shocking the world and making the UEFA Champions League final, but just fell short in the semi-final against Tottenham. They now will look to show that that was not a fluke and to continue to show the strength of Dutch football.
In terms of the domestic league Ajax is still undefeated with an 8-2-0 record which is currently good enough to lead their rivals from Eindhoven by 3 points.
Hakim Ziyech and Dusan Tadic have both been solid for Ajax this year and they are likely to play the wing positions in a 4-3-3 around striker Huntelaar.
Free Chelsea vs Ajax Champions League Prediction:
I think Chelsea will get their tactics right here and get the job done on the road as a decent sized underdog. Their team has the young talent to match Ajax and think their defense is a bit better as the sale of Matthias de Ligt has left a bit of a hole at center-back for them.
