Real Madrid welcome the visitors Ajax in the Champions League Play-offs – 1/8 Finals. The match will be held on Tuesday, March, 5th, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
Well, Real Madrid’s win in the 1st leg away contradicted the game’s developments. Ajax fashioned opportunities for 2 or 3 goals, while the ‘Royals’ approached the opponents’ goal a few times and ended in a 1:2 win. Afterwards, Solari’s side held 3 horrible La Liga fixtures in which they lost to Girona, 1:2, took a 0:3 thumping to Barcelona, and won Levante, 2:1, scoring 2 penalty goals. This is the present Real. It’s difficult to say what their coming clash with the Dutch outfit will bring. The Madrid team have been broken since Zidane and Ronaldo left. We don’t think they have already progressed to the quarter-final after the victory in the 1st leg. Real’s form is patchy, they’ve been regularly conceding to the La Liga outsiders along the season, so why not to lose to the very solid this campaign Ajax?

After their undeserved defeat in the previous meeting with Real, the Amsterdam side held 3 matches. They featured 2 hammerings over weak opponents in the national league – Breda, 5:0, and Den Haag, 5:1, – then they smashed the solid Feyenoord, 3:0. Comparing the wins over some Breda and the clash with Real Madrid, though broken, wouldn’t be appropriate by all means, but Ajax’s confident victories suggest that the team’s form is very promising and that they can overcome the stress – Ajax failed to score more in the 1st leg just because of their worries and excitement. By the level of play that they demonstrate, the guests are no worse than the hosts at least. The fight is not over yet. The present-form Real can easily be netted and knocked out!
We bet on Ajax’s win and a draw as a safety net. The Dutch team should demonstrate an open football, as they have to score twice. Definitely, we cannot be totally sure of the guests’ win, as the hosts will probably counterattack. The match is expected to be entertaining and effective. One can also bet on the Over total here.
Prediction for the match: Ajax to win or Draw.
