Ajax are in excellent condition before the voyage to Spain. The Dutch side won both fixtures of the group stage, 2-1 over Panathinaikos and 2-0 over Standard Liege. Moreover, Ajax won all nine matches in all competition since they got thrashed in Rostov, 1-4. The team averages slightly less than three goals per match and allowed only four conceded goals in these nine matches. Amsterdam side won six out of seven games on the road this season.
Both Celta Vigo and Ajax are considered as main contenders for promotion to the knockout phase. Both teams stick to attacking football and allow goals when their defensive lines are under pressure. While both teams prefer to gain results through prevailing in the match in creating chances, we can expect to see quite number of goals today.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals.
