Betting Tip
Ajax go into the game not only as clear favourites in the tie, but also as one of the contenders at least to win the main stage of the tournament. They will look to impose themselves. In the first game, the Dutch giants clearly demonstrated how to suffocate an opponent: the Serbs immediately folded under the first serious press, allowing the visitors to open the scoring as early as the third minute. At the same time, Ajax cannot afford to ease off, because as soon as they slightly dropped the tempo after the 20th minute, Vojvodina quickly pulled a goal back and created several more dangerous chances. On their own pitch, Ajax will try to crush the opposition with a high tempo, and with space to attack this team can tear apart any defence — just remember the brilliant solo run down the left and the third goal that showcased Mika Godts’ dribbling.
The visitors from Novi Sad have nowhere to retreat now, they will have to take risks and open up, which is deadly dangerous for them. In the first match, Vojvodina looked vulnerable under pressure, and towards the end of the game the defenders produced a catastrophic error, gifting the Amsterdam side a fourth goal after a silly loss of the ball when trying to play out from the back. With that present they effectively deprived themselves of even the slightest chance of going through. Away from home, under the pressure from the stands, it will be even harder for them to avoid collapses.
The Serbs will try to overturn the three-goal deficit, but against the power of the Amsterdam side this will only increase the amount of space available to the hosts. If Ajax do not mess around and switch to their usual speeds, they will comfortably underline their class.
