Ajax vs Benfica 15.03.2022

Roman Yaremchuk’s second equalizing goal sent Ajax back to Amsterdam with a 2-2 draw in their 1st leg with Benfica. Despite the fact that their 1st leg ended with a 2-2 tie we still see Ajax as the favorite in this match and hence we anticipate seeing this squad advancing to the next round.

Ajax has been doing good with winning the first half as their 8/10 matches ended with leading the first half. This trend won’t change in this critical match. While we expect the visitor’s team to score a goal we are predicting to see a correct score of 2-1 in favor of Ajax.
