Ajax will feel somewhat happy with the result they picked away to APOEL and having had a stable run in recent times, they will be hoping to build on that good run in recent matches and having had a free weekend back at home, they will be fresh enough for this. In the last 27 matches across all competitions, Ajax have lost just two and they have also lost two in their last 18 home matches. In the Champions League they have lost two of the last 22 and they only failed to score in one of the last 15 in the competition. At home in the Champions League, Ajax have picked just two losses out of the last 13 and in eight of their last 11 they have managed to score two goals or more. Four of their last five Champions League matches at home have ended in over 2.5 goals and they have no clean sheet in the period. APOEL on the other hand, are yet to start their season back at home and all they have for now is the Champions League engagements. They have played five Champions League matches already, winning three and losing one and they have four clean sheets in the process, while failing to score in just one, a factor that Ajax will need to be aware of when they march to this match. In the last round APOEL picked an away win over Qarabag and will be looking to claim another big scalp and head to the group stages. They have five wins in 15 Champions League matches and have five clean sheets in the last six. They have two straight away wins, but those are the only ones in their last eight away games in the competition. In 27 away matches in the Champions League, APOEL have managed four wins. This is not their first visit to Amsterdam; the last time they played Ajax in the Netherlands, they left with a 4 – 0 beatings in the Champions League. The other two meetings ended in draws.
