Group H is a tight group with the top three teams all on seven points with two games to go. Ajax top the table and will be hoping for another win as they travel to Lille who are bottom on one point. Ajax gave away a good lead at Stamford Bridge in their last game. They had to be content with a 4-4 draw and now have Lille away and Valencia at home in their final two fixtures. Ajax are in top scoring form at the moment having scored four goals in each of their last five matches since losing a home group game to Chelsea 1-0. The loss to the Londoners is their only one in a competitive match since losing to Tottenham in the Champions League semi-final last season. Their away form is strong with no losses in their last 18 and 14 in the Champions League.

Lille are bottom on one point and would need to beat Ajax at home and Chelsea away to have a chance of finishing third. They are already out of the knock-out stages and even finishing third looks extremely unlikely. Their only point in this group came from a home draw with Valencia and the reverse fixture against Ajax ended in a 3-0 loss. Ten goals have been conceded by Lille in this group and them keeping Ajax out doesn't look like happening. Lille have lost three of their last four games and have only one win in their last ten matches. They've only had one home Champions League win in he last 13 years and the tip here is for Ajax to get the away victory here.
