After a hard victory against Osasuna, with 1:0 at home, Real Madrid will have to meet Ajax in the Champions League opener in Group G.

In the head to head statistics Ajax dominates with only one loss in 6 games. However all of the games are from the time when Ajax was one of the top football teams. The most recent game between these two teams was back in 1995, where Ajax won with 2:0 in the group stage, goals scored from Jari Litmanen and Patrick Kluivert.

This is a contest between two of the European Cup’s greatest teams – Madrid have nine wins in the competition and Ajax four.

Real Madrid started the Primera Division, with a miserable draw against Mallorca 0:0, followed by an unconvincing win over Osasuna. Ajax, on the other hand started the season great with 4 wins and 1 draw and taking the 2nd spot with the same amount of points with PSV (13).

Ajax’s away record against Spanish sides is 5 wins 2 draws and 5 losses.

The Betting Verdict?

Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.78 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): When two teams of similar strength meet, there are usually less goals. Although Ajax hasn’t been part of the top teams for so long, Real Madrid is not in their greatest shape either. As a fan I would like to see a great game here, but as a bettor, I am almost certain that we would not see that great of a game.
