Lille hosts Ajax in round 5 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 27th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
As often happens after an excellent season, a mediocre team cannot repeat its results in the next one. The same nonsense is happening with Lille now. Draws are replaced by defeats in the national championship, and as a result, the team takes a place only in the middle of the standings. Well, there is nothing to say about the Champions League campaign. It can be said that Lille is the only team in the tournament, which does not have real chances even for third place in the group after four rounds - it has only one point, and all the other three quartet teams have seven points each. Lille has not won for a month, losing in the national championship and the European cup arena. Of course, the men of Christophe Galtier will not give up and play the remaining matches in the Champions League half-heartedly. But efforts alone are not enough. Lille looks very modest in the game plan - the attack scores a little, and the defense concedes a lot. It’s difficult to claim something with such a game.

Ajax continues to uphold its standards. After the semi-finals of the last season, the team once again strives for the Champions League playoffs. The battle between three teams in the group (Ajax, Valencia, and Chelsea) is very hot. They all have seven points, and each point is surely worth its weight in gold now. Ajax is looking very good. The team has been scoring as many as FOUR goals for four games in a row. Three rounds of the national championship ended with landslide victories, and there was an away draw with Chelsea (4-4) in the last round of the Champions League. Now the main thing is that the international pause does not ruin the Jews’ game and they manage to remain at the same cool level of the game. Ajax has already played 11 away matches and hasn’t suffered a single defeat. Truth be told, it couldn’t avoid draws, and there are a lot of peaceful outcomes, namely five. In general, the Dutch team is an obvious favorite of the upcoming match in all respects, but it shouldn’t stumble on a draw, which can cost a lot in terms of fighting for two top places in the group.
You can probably bet on the clear victory of Ajax because the team deserves to be believed in. But five draws in 11 away matches (it is still almost 50%) give me a reason not to refuse insurance in the form of a zero handicap. Therefore, my bet on this match is as such.
Prediction for the match: Ajax to win with 0.0 handicap
