Two big names meet in Group D of the Champions League. Ajax Amsterdam and Liverpool have won the premier class and the European championship ten times. That is the concentrated competence in the greatest possible European competition. There is currently a bigger gap between the two teams.
Ajax will likely have to struggle to finish at least third in this pool with Atalanta Bergamo and Midtjylland. The English champions from Anfield Road, however, are the clear favourites to win the group in this round.
Liverpool has been unbeaten in 13 international games against teams from the Dutch Eredivisie. The last defeat was against Ajax, of all places, in December 1966. At least that doesn’t sound like a prediction of a home win in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Liverpool.
The Dutch, on the other hand, have had big problems against English clubs in recent years and won only one of the last six duels, namely in the semi-finals of the premier class against Tottenham Hotspurs in 2019, which should not be enough to reach the finals in the end. The bottom line is that the first statistics in the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Liverpool suggest that the Reds will win.
Ajax Amsterdam – Statistics & current form
It’s always the same game. Before this season, Ajax Amsterdam lost again three top performers with Donny van de Beek, Serginho Dest and Hakim Ziyech. It is now up to coach Erik ten Hag to close these gaps with young and hungry players from the legendary Ajax Academy.
Home weak Dutch in the Champions League
In the national league, it is already working very well this year. After five match days, the champions are in second place in the Eredivisie table with twelve points. So the current form is appropriate. However, the Dutch are too often found to be too easy in the premier class. At home, there was only one win in the last seven games in the Champions League.
“We hoped that van Dijk would be there because we want to compete with the best. This injury is very upsetting to Virgil. It’s always sad when something like this happens to you. ” – Erik ten Hag
The next attempt will be made on Wednesday and the dress rehearsal has shown that Erik ten Hag’s team is in good shape. Last weekend Heerenveen was shot 5-1 out of the stadium. Dusan Tadic laid the foundation for victory with a brace.
Personally, things could hardly look better at the Dutch champions. Before kick-off, it seems as if Erik ten Hag can draw on the full. The hospital has been swept completely empty. This is certainly an indication why between Ajax Amsterdam and Liverpool the odds of the well-known bookmakers on a win of the guests of up to 1.75 are unexpectedly high.
The probable lineup of Ajax Amsterdam:
↳ Onana – Tagliafico, Blind, Schuurs, Mazraoui – Klaasen, Gravenberch – Tadic, Kudus, Neres – Traore
↳ Coach: ten Hag

Liverpool – Statistics & current form
Under Jürgen Klopp, there have not been three defeats in a row in the Champions League for the Reds. With bankruptcy on Wednesday, however, the LFC would lose three times in a row in the premier class for the first time since 2014, at the time under Brendan Rodgers. From the point of view of the English master, things shouldn’t get that far.
Mini-crisis at the Reds?
However, it is currently showing that the mentality monster from Anfield Road is quite vulnerable. There are currently three games without a win. This is almost a mini-crisis for Liverpool, especially since there was a 2-7 package at Aston Villa. Nevertheless, in the duel between Ajax Amsterdam and Liverpool, there is more for a prediction on the guests.
Last weekend, the Reds showed their hearts when it came to points at the Merseyside Derby in Everton. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah brought Liverpool forward twice, but in the end, it was enough in a high-class game only to a 2-2 draw because the alleged winner by Henderson in stoppage time was denied by the VAR.
It is particularly bitter that Virgil van Dijk, the next seriously injured player, will now be missing in the long term. Probably the best central defender in the world, like Alisson Becker, will be out for several weeks. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and possibly also Naby Keita, other top-class players are missing from the Reds’ squad on Wednesday.
The probable lineup of Liverpool:
↳ Adrian – Robertson, Gomez, Matip, Alexander-Arnold – Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago – Mane, Salah, Roberto Firmino
↳ Coach: Klopp

Ajax Amsterdam versus Liverpool. That sounds like a match that takes place almost every year on the international stage, but that’s not the case at all. To date, these two teams have only faced each other twice. In the 1966/67 season, these two clubs met in the round of 16 of the European Cup.
Reds still without a win against Ajax
At that time, the Dutch made everything clear in the first leg with a 5-1 win. At Anfield Road, Ajax then scored 2-2 to safely move into the next round. Of the seven Ajax goals in these two duels, three went to the young Johan Cruyff, who would later become one of the best football players of all time.
