Ajax hosts Besiktas in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 28th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
Ajax clearly values international success more. Sons of the Gods are just accustomed to winning in the local championship. This year they finished the last season with a golden double. And even now the representative of Amsterdam dominates in the Eredivisie. But the club wants to make some noise in European competitions. Quite recently, Ajax played in the Europa League final and, most importantly, it suffered a dramatic defeat in the semifinals of the Champions League. But after that, Sons of the Gods slowed down. In 2019 and 2020, they did not progress from the group, taking 3rd place. Now the selection of opponents seems to be more loyal. And, most importantly, Ajax had a great start to the group stage. The club destroyed Sporting in Lisbon 5-1, and Sebastien Haller scored four goals.

In the spring, Besiktas managed to win gold medals in a very difficult and stubborn struggle. It was their first title of this kind since 2017. Now Sergen Yalcin and his charges are trying to keep the trophy. And they started the new season in the Super League quite confidently. The Black Eagles lead the standings (although they already made a couple of misfires). The UEFA Champions League group looks quite easy either. The Turks have already played with the main favorite of the quartet, Borussia Dortmund. Yes, Besiktas lost 1-2 at home, but it was noticeable that the Black Eagles were trying to play against the star Germans and not just defend. And they managed to score a goal, but it was not enough. But the fate of Besiktas will be decided mainly on the basis of how they will play the games against simpler opponents. It is advisable not to lose in Amsterdam.
So far, these clubs have not crossed paths, even though they have the status of the grandees of national football in their countries. We can only mention that in 2021, the national teams of Turkey and the Netherlands, which included the players of Ajax and Besiktas, exchanged home victories. Both Ajax and Besiktas prefer to play offensive football and are not very strong in defense. We bet on Over 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
