Command Analysis
Ajax
NetherlandsCurrent form
Ajax approached the start of the league stage as a clear contender for a place in the top eight – Francesco Farioli’s team fully lived up to this status in terms of player selection. The Amsterdam team had a very strong opening match, in which they crushed Besiktas 4:0 – against the backdrop of such a performance, the away 1:1 draw against Prague’s Slavia looked like a failure.
In the next two rounds, https://www.ajax.nl/>Ajax had no problems – first they beat Qarabag 3-0, then the Amsterdam team thrashed Maccabi Tel Aviv 5-0. Ajax suffered their first defeat in the Europa League in the last round, where they lost 0-2 to Real Sociedad without much of a chance. With 10 points, the Amsterdam giants are in sixth place in the table.
In the Dutch championship, Ajax could hardly set the most ambitious goals for itself, but it certainly counted on the second line at the end of the season. At the moment, the Amsterdam team occupies third place in the table with 33 points and is already nine points behind the leader PSV, the second Utrecht has two points more. At the bottom, Feyenoord is seriously pressing, having only one point less.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mannsverk, Dongen, Rench and Takhirovich are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ajax have not won in their last two matches – a defeat and a draw

Lazio
ItalyCurrent form
Lazio was also considered a clear contender for a place in the top eight before the start of the Europa League – so far the Eagles have more than confidently justified this status. Marco Baroni’s team started with a crushing 3:0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv, managing to consolidate their success in the second round against Nice – the Eaglets were defeated 4:1 in Rome.
https://sslazio.it/>Lazio did not create any problems for Twente in the third round either - the Tuckers lost 0:2 on their home field. The 2:1 victory over Porto was not easy, they had to fight to snatch three points, but the Romans coped with their task and headed the table. In the last round, the winning streak of the Eagles was interrupted - the Romans unexpectedly lost points in a home match against Ludogorets (0:0), but retained their leadership in the table.
In Serie A, Lazio did not set the most ambitious goals for itself, even fighting for a place in the top four, given the scale of changes in the summer, was hardly possible. At the moment, the "eagles" occupy fifth place in the table with 31 points and only by additional indicators are behind the Champions League zone. Having beaten Napoli 1:0 in the last round, Lazio won their tenth victory in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vesino is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lazio have won their last two matches
- Lazio have scored in 10 of their last 11 matches
- Lazio have conceded goals in two of their last three matches
Estimated line-up: Mandas – Marusic, Gigot, Patrick, Tavares – Rovella, Guendouzi – Tchauna, Dia, Pedro – Castellanos.

2.49Tip and bets
Ajax plays in its traditional style - attacking combination football, the Amsterdammers are effective and even in not the strongest matches rarely leave their opponents dry. Lazio will not do without rotation today, and in general the visitors are very vulnerable in defense. However, the "eagles", even in not the strongest combination, will still play openly and it should not be difficult for them to score their own goal.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on the outcome
Ajax will certainly be looking to take all three points today - the Amsterdam team is very strong at home, having won eight of their last nine matches at home. Lazio played two difficult matches against Napoli in a week, and in a few days the Eagles will have a league match against Inter, which is certainly a priority, given that the Romans are doing well in the Europa League - it makes sense to give preference to the hosts in such a situation.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Ajax. This bet is offered for 1.65
Combined rate
Ajax is undoubtedly the favorite – the Amsterdam team rarely makes mistakes at home, they will clearly have no problems with motivation, and there are no serious personnel losses. Lazio will not do without rotation today in anticipation of the most important match against Inter in Serie A, the visitors will hardly be able to play at full strength. Ajax is capable of taking its three points, but it will be problematic to beat Lazio without scoring, the Eagles play boldly and have no problems in attack.
The bet is Ajax win and both teams will score. This bet is offered at 3.85
