LiontipsAjax vs Besiktas. Predictions and Betting Tips for the Champions League
Command Analysis
Ajax found themselves in a relatively easy group with Borussia Dortmund, Sporting and Besiktas. Erik ten Hag's team crushed Sporting in the first round (5:1) of the group stage.
In previous weekend Ajax recorded an easy victory over Groningen - a 3:0 victory helped them to stay at the top and keep the three point handicap over Willem II. Hosts are now on a six-game winning streak in all competitions, Dutch champion already scored 29 goals in Eredivisie.
Besiktas put up a weak performance in the first round of the Champions League - no one considered Black Eagles favourites of the match against Borussia Dortmund, but they were expected to at least put up a fight at Istanbul. Bumblebees scored two goals in the first half and maintained their lead in the second half, just before the final whistle Francisco Montero managed to score a consolation goal.
Besiktas are currently at the third spot in a Turkish Super Lig, two points behind Fenerbahce. Eagles picked up only one point out of matches against Demirspor (3:3) and Altay (1:2) - Sergen Yalcin just doesn't have enough players to play successfully in two competitions.

Tip and bets
Ajax are on a wonderful form now - they won six matches in a row with a total score of 29:1, which is an impressive result, to say the least. Club from Amsterdam will try to extend their success today and we don't think that Besiktas will be able to stop them, but Eagles should be able to avoid a blowout, they have a number of experienced players and some young stars, who want to establish themselves on such a high level.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+2.5) for Besiktas
Ajax are looking flawless recently and they are a clear favourite of an upcoming match. Boys from Amsterdam should be able to pick up three points and keep the lead in the group. But it will be hard to crush the opponent - Besiktas will park the bus since the first minutes and won't give much space to the opponent.
Our second bet is on Ajax to win by two goals
