Tipster’s Angle

Ajax are coming into this fixture by thrashing Dortmund in the reverse fixture and are likely to make it two in a row despite Dortmund winning both the fixtures before this. Also, similar to the last fixture, this is expected to be a high scorer.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.45

In two of the last 3 head to head matches, over 2.5 goals were scored, with a total goal count of 10 goals at an average of 3.33 goals per match. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in six of Dortmund’s last 10 encounters in all competitions. In addition, three of Dortmund’s previous five home encounters have seen over 2.5 goals scored. In the last ten matches that Ajax had played across all competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in six of those matches. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in two of the last four matches that Ajax has played on the road. So, it is very likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.45 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Ajax Draw No Bet @ 1.95

Dortmund have won seven matches and lost three matches in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. In the last four matches that Dortmund has played on home soil, they have won three matches and lost one match. In the last ten matches that Ajax has played across competitions, they have won eight matches, drawn one match, and lost one match. Ajax have won three matches, and drawn one match in the last four matches that they have played on the road. Also, Ajax managed to win the last head-to-head match that they have played in the Champions League. So, it is likely that Ajax will win the match with a draw no bet at 1.95 odds at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Ajax are more likely to finish at the top of the table if they avoid a defeat against Dortmund. But Dortmund needs a win to increase the lead against the other two teams. Also, these two teams are likely to finish in the top two.
