=11.5ptAjax was among the best performers in the Champions League last season and though they didn’t get to the final, their quality was clear. They start this two – legged tie away from home in Cyprus looking to take a first leg advantage back home. Apoel on the other hand, will be meeting their strongest opposition yet in this season’s competition. In the past round they lost at home to Qarabag before recovering away from home and they will be keen to take the advantage to Amsterdam in this tie. Their last four matches have all been in the Champions League, with the Cyprus league yet to start. They have won three of the four and for of their last five in the Champions League. The four wins are all Apoel have managed in the last 13 Champions League matches. At home in the Champions League they have managed just two wins in the last six. Ajax on the other hand, will feel fitter and better prepared for this clash, with the Dutch season already underway, where Ajax are on top after three matches. Ajax have not lost in their last seven matches and head to this game on three straight wins. They are more experienced than Apoel in the Champions League and have suffered just two losses in their last 22 matches in the competition. They are unbeaten in their last 11 away matches in the Champions League. Ajax have failed to score in just three matches of their last 20 away in the Champions League. The two sides met in the Champions League in 2014 and Ajax picked a 4 – 0 win and a 1 – 1 draw.
