Ajax at Juventus 4/16/19 - Champions League Picks & Predictions

Juventus knew exactly what to do in the away leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and now have an advantage over Ajax. The two teams will now clash against one another on Tuesday in Italy. Ajax did a massive job in the previous round against Real Madrid but this is a totally different beast.

Juventus did a really solid job in the first leg and held out for a 1-1 draw. They actually took the lead in that match but were equalized at the start of the second half. They were really pressured by Ajax in the second half but managed to hold. Juventus have not lost any of their last seven matches against Dutch opposition (4-0-3). Moreover, they have progressed from four of their five two-legged ties against Dutch sides. Ajax had a lot of chances to take the lead again, especially in the second half where they had 12 scoring chances with four shots on goal against none by Juventus. Ajax will need to repeat what they did in the previous round against Real Madrid, where they came back from a 2-1 loss at home to win by 4-1 in Madrid. Ajax have now drawn five of their last six matches against Italian opposition. Moreover, they have not lost in their last four trips to Italy (2-0-2) and have also kept clean sheets in all four.
