Liverpool vs Ajax Prediction and Betting Tips (13.09.2022)

Command Analysis

Liverpool

England

Liverpool enjoyed success in the previous edition of the Champions League. They became the first British team to win all six group games and defeated Inter Milan, Benfica, and Villarreal to reach their 10th Champions League final. However, in the decisive game, the Reds lost to Real Madrid. In the summer, the club bought Darwin Núñez from Benfica for 75 million euros to strengthen their attack.

Jurgen Klopp's team started the new season with a victory in the Community Shield match and earned nine points from six games in the new edition of the Premier League. Currently, Liverpool are in 7th place in the standings. In the first Champions League game, Klopp's side unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat to Napoli (1:4).

Ajax

Netherlands

Last season, Ajaxbecame the champion of the Netherlands for the 36th time in the club history. The team got 83 points from 26 wins and five draws and delivered a total of 98 goals in 34 matches. In the summer, Ajax parted ways with Erik ten Hag, who moved to Manchester United, and two key players who followed the former manager. The club signed Calvin Bassey from Rangers (23 million) and Steven Bergwijn from Tottenham (31 million).

Alfred Schreuder's men won the first six Eredivisie games and currently lead the standings with 18 points. Last week, they crushed Heerenveen (5:0). In the first Champions League game, the Dutch side beat Rangers (4:0).

Tip and bets

1.61Both to score

Both sides need to earn points in the upcoming game, especially Liverpool, who had a terrible start to their European campaign. Traditionally, Liverpool score a lot at Anfield, but we expect Ajax to convert at least one chance, too - the Dutch team is on top form and has delivered 13 goals in the previous three games.

Our prediction — both to score

5Draw

Liverpool are the favourites in this fixture, however, the Reds are in poor form and have many injured players. This gives Ajax a good chance to hold their hosts to a draw.
