Borussia Dortmund vs Ajax Predictions and Betting Tips



Dortmund welcome Ajax to the SIgnal Iduna this Wednesday in an highly-enthralling UEFA Champions League matchup. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Germans would certainly be hellbent on revenge this Wednesday following their 4-0 thrashing at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in the reverse fixture, shaping this up to be an amazing matchup.

Ajax keen on continuing 100% record

Borussia Dortmund did bounce back from that embarrassing 4-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League as they went on to get the better of Arminia Bielefeld in the league, Ingolstadt in the German Cup and then FC Koln also in the Bundesliga. Hazard and Tigges were both on the scoresheet against FC Koln last weekend to secure Dortmund their fourth straight victory in the German Bundesliga, placing them in 2nd place and just a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich. They did well to win their first two UCL group stage games against Sporting and Besiktas but now need to get their qualification bid back on track with a statement win against the group leaders.

Ajax, on the other hand, hasn't put a foot wrong so far as they head into their fourth group game with a 100% record- one of four teams to have won all their games to date. As for Ajax, it's not only that they won, it's how they have won these games with the side from Amsterdam netting 11 times and shipping just one goal. This places them at the summit of Group B and we could see Erik Ten Hag's troops put some daylight between them and their competitors this Wednesday. Over the weekend, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Heracles Almelo in the Dutch Eredivisie, halting their three-match winning streak in all competitions. Would we see them get back to winning ways this Wednesday ?
