Group G is where the league gets really tricky and interesting.
Auxerre currently with 0 points has almost no chances to qualify, unless they take this game today and continue winning against Real Madrid at home, and then possibly draw Milan in Italy.
So far, Auxerre lost against all three teams, where 2 of those loses were away from home, and they hardly lost to Real Madrid at home with 0:1. Ajax on the other side, lost to Real Madrid, tied with Milan and beat Auxerre.
It’s clear that neither teams would like the draw here, as it will throw out Auxerre for the battle of advancing out of the group. I am expecting the host to be the team that will be the more attacking one, while Ajax will depend on counter attacks mostly.

The statistics is in favor of Ajax, having won 10 and tied 2 of the last 17 games against French teams in Europe. They are also the only dutch team to ever win on Auxerre away, back in 1996-1997 Champions League.
Here are some other interesting facts about the two teams:
* Auxerre are only the second French side to lose their opening three Champions League group stage matches
* Only once before in nine Champions League appearances have Ajax picked up fewer points than the four they have this season after three games.
* The last five Champions League matches at Auxerre have produced just four goals in total.

Ajax to win @ 2.70 (Odds available only in Bet365 – Claim 100% Initial Bonus): Although this is a 3 way game by all means, I believe that Ajax has what it takes to get the 2nd spot today. Auxerre will be team who will be looking for the first goal today and will go probably with a very offensive line. This would give Ajax the ability to play on counter attacks and hopefully score.
