Ajax and Napoli will square off in the third Champions League round on Tuesday, October 4.
We would back Napoli on because we see them avoiding a loss in this game, despite the fact that Ajax is the favorite going into this match, which is understandable given that they are a great team and they are hosting.
After all, Italian club enters this match as the top team in both Serie A and their Champions League group, while Ajax has lost their last three games, including ones in the Champions League and Eredivisie. In fact, Napoli has yet to lose since the season began, and they currently have a six-game winning streak across all competitions.
Ajax is currently in second place in the Dutch league standings, one point behind AZ Alkmaar, with six wins, one draw, and one loss through the first eight games. The team currently has one victory and one defeat in the Champions League. Ajax has lost their last three games, and they have not been playing at their best lately. Ahmetcan Kaplan, Jorge Sanchez, and Mohamed Ihattaren will be out injured for Ajax in the upcoming game.
Despite Atalanta having the same number of points as them right now, Napoli is leading the Serie A standings after the first eight games with six wins and two draws. Along with this outstanding result, Napoli has won both of its games in the Champions League thus far, soundly defeating both Liverpool and Rangers. As for injuries Victor Osimhen is still sidelined for Napoli.
Possible lineup for Ajax – Pasveer; Rencsh, Timber, Bassey, Blind; Berghuis, Alvarez, Taylor; Tadic, Kudus, Bergwijn
Possible lineup for Napoli – Alex Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Rui; Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka; Kvaratskhelia, Zielinski, Politano; Simeone
