Ajax 17/20 to beat Lille in Wednesday’s Champions League showdown

Competition: Champions League

Market: Ajax win

Odds: 17/20 @ Bet 365

Looking to widen their gap at the top of Group H and move one step closer to qualification, Ajax will make the trip to a struggling Lille on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, continuing to endure a worrying run of form both domestically and in Europe, Lille find themselves in the midst of a struggle. In their four Champions League Group H matches this year, the French outfit are yet to record a single victory, collecting just one point out of a possible 12. Now failing to win any of their last four matches across all competitions and losing three of those appearances, it should also be noted that Lille have remarkably failed to win any of their previous seven matches in the Champions League. Even more worrying for Wednesday’s hosts, they have failed to win any of their last five matches on home soil both domestically and in Europe.

As for the visitors, continuing to enjoy a bright run of form, Ajax are still seen to be the leading contender to secure top spot in Group H this year. In their four qualifying matches this season, the Dutch giants have landed two wins, one draw, and just one defeat, scoring 10 goals and conceding five in return. It should also be noted that Wednesday’s guests have won nine of their last 11 matches across all competitions and they have now scored eight goals in their previous two victories. Even more impressive, Ajax are unbeaten in their last 14 Champions League matches on the road.
