Ajax – Galatasaray. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On November 5, the match of the 4th round of the main round of the Champions League will be held at the Johan Cruyff Arena, in which Ajax will meet with Galatasaray. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Ajax

The team has recently been displaced by competitors from the leading position in the Eredivisie. It seemed that in the last season it was possible to return to the first place against the background of PSV’s problems, but on the final straight the grand from Amsterdam turned out to be worse! After this, Farioli, who resigned, replaced Heiting, but he is far from successful: draws are equal to victories, five each, and AZ lost at home, already lagging behind the leaders of the draw.

It’s even worse in the Champions League. All the Dutch started with 0:2 on their field against Inter. Then there were defeats at all: 0:4 in Marseille against the opponent of the same name, 1:5 against Chelsea in London, and there the final score was drawn up to the 48th minute. Although, of course, the anti-hero was Kenneth Taylor, who was removed after a quarter of an hour.

Galatasaray

The club, like the opponent, remains a historical giant of the national level – suffice it to say that it is the only one of all the Turks to win European Cups. And, most importantly, now, under Okan Buruka as the head coach, it was possible not only to return to the first place, but also to successfully and solidly defend this status several times. Even now, a gap of four points has already been secured from the usual pursuer, the neighboring Fenerbahce.

At the same time, in the Champions League, Mauro Icardi started with a painful defeat, in the form of 1:5 in Frankfurt against Eintracht. But then the crisis-hit Liverpool made a successful comeback, beating them 1:0 at home. And then they took three more points at the same stadium: debutant Bude/Glimt quickly scored a couple of goals thanks to the efforts of Osimkhen, who scored a double, and in the end they finished 3:1.

Statistics of personal meetings

The first official match was held in January, in the Europa League. Then in Amsterdam, the hosts won with a score of 2:1.
