Ajax vs Panathinaikos Prediction and Betting Tips (15.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Ajax

Netherlands

Current form

After a disastrous last season, Ajax changed its coach – Francesco Farioli prepared the team for the start of the championship and the Europa League qualification. So far, the Amsterdammers have been impeccable – in the last round of qualification, they beat Vojvodina twice, earning a ticket to the next round with a score of 4:1 on aggregate. In the championship, Ajax started with a 1:0 victory over Heerenveen.

Disqualifications and injuries

In preparation for the start of the season, key player Steven Bergwijn was dropped and remains out of action. Christian Rasmussen will also be out of action for Ajax today.

Interesting trends for betting

In four matches of the new season, Ajax have conceded only one goal, which they scored in their own net in Serbia
Ajax have scored in the first half in their last two matches

Probable line-up : Pasver – Rench, Sutalo, Baas, Hato – Fitz-Jim, Henderson, Taylor – Berghuis, Akpom, Forbes.

Panathinaikos

Greece

Current form

Panathinaikos has already managed to overcome one round of qualification, where it met a not very high-status opponent in the person of Bulgarian Botev from Plovdiv. At home, Diego Alonso's team achieved a modest 2:1 victory, but away they crushed their opponent with a score of 4:0 without a chance. In the first match with Ajax, Panathinaikos lost quite unexpectedly, but a minimal 0:1 defeat still leaves chances.

Disqualifications and injuries

Panathinaikos have only one loss ahead of the match against Ajax: Georgios Vayannidis is out for several weeks.

Interesting trends for betting

Panathinaikos have scored just one goal in their last three matches against Ajax
Half of all Panathinaikos goals this season were scored by Alexander Eremeev – the Swedes have three goals

Estimated line-up : Dragovski – Mladenovic, Jedvaj, Ingason, Kotsiras – Arao, Gnezda, Djuricic, Bakasetas, Mancini – Eremeev.

Tip and bets

1.71both will score

Panathinaikos lost at home and will now be forced to play more openly. The Greens have quite experienced, high-level players in their lineup, and the Greeks are unlikely to leave Ajax dry in the second match in a row. However, the Amsterdammers will certainly be aggressive at home and will find their moments – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.

We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.71

1.75Ajax victory

Bet on the outcome

Ajax looks very solid at the start of the season, but without any special frills - the Amsterdammers are getting results, but they are not showing off the bright extravaganzas to which they have become accustomed in recent years. Today, the hosts will also probably be as pragmatic as possible and will try to catch the opponent on the counterattack - at home, Ajax is capable of not only maintaining the advantage, but also winning.

The bet is for Ajax to win. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.75
