Chelsea vs Ajax Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

You might not get rich backing Chelsea at -370 to win this Champions League clash although these betting odds imply a 79% chance that the favourites end up winning. If you’re looking for an alternative angle, the underdogs Ajax are trading at +850.

There’s a nice alternative in the form of the Half-Time Result market. This allows you to back Chelsea at -152 to lead at the break or alternatively opt for Ajax at +600. The draw is the third option at +200.

Over 2.5 Goals is the market leader and that means three or more goals are predicted. Should you expect both teams score, then the BTTS Yes option is available at -127.

The good news is that you can access hundreds of markets for any Champions League game. The best football betting sites have a massive range of pre-match and In-Play betting options.
