Ajax vs Benfica Prediction & Tips
The Dutch giants are going through one of their worst spells in European competition. With four defeats in four Champions League matches and an alarming goal difference of 1 for and 14 against, Ajax are bottom of the table. Their home form is no better, with two defeats in two matches at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
The Portuguese team, led by the experienced José Mourinho, is also having a nightmare in the Champions League with four defeats in four games and a goal difference of 2 for and 8 against. However, their overall performance is considerably better than that of Ajax. In their last five games in all competitions, Benfica has achieved three wins, one draw and only one defeat.
The record of the last four meetings between Ajax and Benfica reflects a relative balance, with one win for Ajax, two draws and one win for Benfica. Indeed, the last direct duel between the two teams ended in a 0-1 away win for Benfica, which could be a favourable omen for the Portuguese side.
