Champions League Betting Preview: Ajax vs Olympiacos

Dutch Eredivisie side Ajax host Greek Super League team Olympiacos at Johan Cruyff Arena in the final round of the UCL league phase, with kick-off set for 16:00 on Wednesday 28 January.

If you agree with our verdict that Ajax can avoid defeat against Olympiacos, then you can back the Amsterdam side with a +0.25 goal start at -130. This means our Asian Handicap stake is split equally between 0 and +0.5.

Ajax require victory to keep any realistic chance of reaching the Champions League knockout play-offs alive, while Olympiacos can secure or improve their position with a win or a draw that would carry their European campaign into February’s play-off round.

Ajax were winners last time out. Landing a 2-0 Eredivisie home victory against Volendam at Johan Cruyff Arena. The Sons of God boasted 65% possession and had fourteen shots on target, with Youri Baas scoring both of the goals.

Olympiacos edged past Volos 1–0 at Karaiskakis Stadium in the Super League last time out. The Piraeus outfit enjoyed 58% possession and managed three shots on goal, with Ayoub El Kaabi finding the net in the 26th minute.

When last playing in the Champions League, Ajax claimed a 2-1 win when visiting Villarreal, while Olympiacos triumphed 2-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen.
