Ajax take on the visitors Napoli in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 4th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam).
Ajax have established dominance in Dutch football in recent years and in fact claims to be the contender for maximum results in the European arena. But this summer, a lot has changed. A successful mentor, ten Hag, has left, many of the main players have been sold or moved to new teams as free agents. But the goals and objectives in Amsterdam do not change. Including the Champions League. Last season, the leader of the Netherlands brilliantly won the group, collecting 6 wins out of 6. True, he then flew out to the 1/8 finals, losing at home to Benfica after a missed victory in Lisbon. The Ajaxids started the new cycle at this level confidently, completely defeating the Rangers. But in the 2nd round, the club disappointingly lost to Liverpool. Holding on quite confidently at Anfield and responding to Salah's goal, the Dutch conceded in the end with Matip's set-piece. Now it is necessary to cling to points with the representative of Italy.

Napoli under Luciano Spalletti immediately and significantly added. They even returned a year ago to the Scudetto race. And in the end, lagging behind a couple from Milan, they finished in 3rd place with a margin. Now, as in Ajax, in Naples, the squad was completely rebuilt in the summer. in the Champions League the Italians go with a 100% result. And how: at first, the formidable Liverpool conceded four times by the 49th minute, only after that they were allowed to score a goal. Zelinski was especially good, with a brace and an assist. And then the Rangers were declassed in Glasgow. There, however, Sands let the hosts down, getting yellow cards in the 53rd and 55th minutes. As a result, in the last half hour, the visitors from Naples made the score a devastating 3-0. True, in order to open the score they had to wait for Politano's goal from the penalty spot.
Ajax is a frequenter of European competitions, and Napoli participates in them almost constantly. But it will be the first time they play with each other. Bookmakers consider Ajax, which plays at home, to be the favorite of the confrontation. But, given how spectacular both clubs are playing, it's worth betting on "over 3.0 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
