Ajax - Olympiacos: betting tip (cf 4.75) and bets on the Champions League match

Current form

Ajax has extensive experience in the Champions League, and in the international arena as a whole – it is quite obvious that the Amsterdammers were betting on a ticket to the playoffs and the selection of players made it possible to count on success. Ajax started terribly at the league stage, having suffered two defeats in a row from Inter (0:2) and Marseille (0:4), immediately finding himself at the very bottom of the standings.

Ajax did not limit themselves to two defeats in a row and then lost to Chelsea (1:5), Galatasaray (0:3) and Benfica (0:2). After five defeats, it was extremely naive to expect the playoffs, but after the change of coach and the easing of pressure on the team, the Amsterdam team beat Qarabag (4:2) and Villarreal (3:2) in the last rounds, thus managing to get within two points of the playoff zone.

In the Eredivisie, Ajax was among the potential contenders for the championship title before the start of the season, but PSV was the clear favorite in the championship race from the beginning and the disastrous start did not even allow them to participate in it. Under Fred Grim, Ajax has improved and currently occupies the third place in the table with 37 points, but is already 16 points behind the leader PSV.

Current form

Olympiacos, like its current rival, participates in European competitions every year, and having such a huge experience in the international arena, as well as a fairly decent squad, allowed the red and white to count on a ticket to the playoffs. Jose Luis Mendilibar's team started, unsuccessfully managing to score only one point in the matches against Paphos (0:0) and Arsenal (0:2).

With one point, Olympiacos reached as far as the sixth round, where they managed to beat the Champions League debutant Kairat fairly easily (1-0). However, this victory did not leave many chances for the playoffs, but in the last round, the red and white unexpectedly easily beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at home and ended up on the 24th line in the table. Victory in today's match guarantees the Greek champion the playoffs.

Before the start of the season, Olympiacos was considered one of the main contenders for the championship title in the Greek championship, along with AEK and PAOK. So far, the red and white have justified their status and occupy the second place in the table with 42 points, two points behind the AEK leader, but at the same time they have a match in reserve. PAOK is one point away from the bottom, so the championship race is in full swing.
