Tottenham at Ajax 5/8/19 - Champions League Picks & Predictions

Ajax have been spectacular this season and are coming off a win in their domestic Cup Final. They will be looking to keep the dream alive on Wednesday when they will host Tottenham for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Ajax won in the first leg in London and will now have to protect their lead.

Ajax played a really careful match in London against Tottenham, where neither team had many scoring chances. But van de Beek scored the only goal of the match at the 15th minute for the final 1-0. Ajax have a W6 L2 record in this stage of the competition, and one of those eliminations came against an English club. They have won just one of their four home matches against London sides (1-2-1). Moreover, they have lost just once in their 17 European matches this season. Tottenham were not very lucky in the first leg where they lost by 1-0. That loss ended a six-match undefeated run against Dutch sides (4-0-2) that lasted over a decade. Tottenham are undefeated in their last four trips to the Netherlands (2-0-2) and their overall away record against Dutch clubs stands at 5-2-2.

Ajax have done a tremendous job to reach so deep in the competition. They are one step before the final but they have one more obstacle. Tottenham do have some key absences like Harry Kane but they know that is their last chance for silverware this season. Call me crazy but I am going with Tottenham on this one.
