Ajax hosts Atalanta in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 9th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
The Dutch club is holding a good group stage despite an intermediate third place in the quartet. Ten Hag's men managed to defeat Midtjylland twice but also lost twice to Liverpool. Ajax has significantly updated against the background of the last season. The Jews continue to be the leaders in the local arena and delight their fans with the results in the European cups. Many new stars have appeared in modern Ajax. Everyone expects from them the same achievements as from De Jong, De Ligt, Ziyech, and other recent talents of the capital team. Antonio, Martinez, Schuurs, Gravenberch, Traore - these guys are very young and can make significant progress in the near future.

The fans from Bergamo expect their favorites to get to the playoff stage and gain quality results in the local arena. Concerning the latter, Atalanta is not all right – it takes a position outside the European Cup zone. As for the Champions League, it all depends on the mentees of Gasperini. A draw in Amsterdam will be a positive result, and the 1/8 finals will be waiting for them. Let's see whether the Italians manage to play a pragmatic match. The squad of Atalanta pleases with its depth, and it has enough players who can decide the outcomes of matches in favor of the club. The leaders of the Black-Blues include such performers as Gomez, Zapata, Muriel, De Roon, Rodrigo Toloi, and Gosens. Gasperini is actively using rotation this season, which is not going as smoothly as it was in the incredibly successful last year.
The first match between these clubs ended in a scoring draw (2:2). This result was logical from the point of view of team styles. The Dutch champion and Atalanta like to play aggressively in the attack and often forget about their defensive lines. It is unlikely that anything will change in this incredibly important confrontation for both teams, and we will probably see at least three goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
