Ajax v Manchester United Betting Tips February 16th 2012

Match Preview

Ajax

Ajax took the third spot in Champions League Group D, with equal points with Olympique Lyon, but a worse goal difference. The team managed to score only 6 goals in 6 games and conceded as many. The Dutch team record a victory, a loss and a draw at home, scoring 4 goals in one game, and nothing more in the next two. Ajax has a positive record against English teams at home, W4 D2 L2, but has not won against English teams in the past 7 games, recording 3 defeats and 4 draws. Considering that Ajax has conceded on the average of a goal and has scored on the average a goal, the Under 2.5 goals @ 2.05 seems like a real value.

Manchester United

Manchester United has not been able to make it to the elimination round of Champions League only once in 16 years, but sadly, they have done it for a second time this season. United recorded a draw, a victory and a loss away from home, and a victory and two draws at home, gathering only 9 points, two behind the second Basel. It’s still uncertain if the team will try hard for Europa League, as the battle for the title in England continues, and the Red Devils will most likely need all efforts there. In 2006 United visited Amsterdam, to play Ajax, for the Amsterdam Tournament, winning with the minimal 1:0. United record against Dutch teams in Holland reads W1 D2 L2.
