Ajax hosts Valencia in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 10th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
It's a rather complicated match for the predictions because Ajax and Valencia have already shown mysterious results in the current UEFA Champions League. However, the Dutch so far look like a much more stable unit. As a result, I will try to proceed from them in the proposed bet. By the way, the Dutch will be quite happy with the draw, which will secure promotion to the 1/8 finals. And a prudent coach of the hosts will surely explain it to his players, remembering the spring semi-final embarrassment in the Champions League in the match with Tottenham. Ajax miraculously failed in defense in the second half, after which the Sons of Gods began to pay much more attention to the defensive component of the game than they usually did. Their defense disappointed only in the away match against Chelsea (a 4:4 draw). But then as many as two Dutch central defenders picked up red cards almost at the beginning of the 2nd half. As for the remaining four games of the current Champions League, Erik ten Hag's men were on top in defense and conceded only one goal, having kept three clean sheets with Lille (3:0, 2:0) and same Valencia in Spain (3:0)!

As for the visitors, they will be satisfied only with the victory, so the Bats will most likely try to starve their serious competitor out. After all, getting involved in open football with today's Ajax, and even within its arena, usually ends with serious problems... Valencia probably knows about it because it has already suffered a hammering defeat in the aforementioned match at Mestalla... I also want to note that Valencia doesn’t fly under the radar in away matches – it tied with Lille (1:1) and beat Chelsea with a 1:0 score as a grandmaster.
I believe that the importance of this match will put pressure on the shoulders of both rivals, therefore Ajax, which will be satisfied even with a draw, will not force events. In this situation, Valencia simply won’t be able to breach the reliable Dutch redoubts twice!
Prediction for the match: Valencia to score under 1.5 goals
