Match Preview
Fred Grim is facing a real crisis because his team has not earned a single point at home. They have conceded 19 goals in just seven games which is a very worrying stat. Still the recent 2 to 1 win over Villarreal gave them a little hope.
The injury list is quite long with Wout Weghorst and Steven Berghuis both unavailable for selection. This really limits the attacking options for the Dutch giants in this must win match. Even so the squad must find a way to break their home scoring drought.
Defensive fragility has been the main story for the Amsterdam club during this European run. They have conceded the opening goal in every single league phase game they played. It is hard to see them keeping a clean sheet against a resilient Greek side tonight.
Olympiacos arrives in Amsterdam with much higher confidence after beating Bayer Leverkusen 2 to 0 recently. They currently hold the final playoff spot and a draw might be enough for them. That said they will surely look to exploit the weak Ajax defensive line tonight.
The visitors have a very strong record against Dutch clubs lately with only one loss in six. Ayoub El Kaabi is back in the starting lineup which provides a massive boost. His clinical finishing could be the difference between these two sides on Wednesday night.
Victory would secure their place in the next round and create some club history. The team seems more balanced than their hosts as they have managed eight points so far. These Champions League Predictions suggest the Greek side might leave the Netherlands with a positive result.

Prediction
X2
Olympiacos enters this game in much better form compared to their struggling Dutch opponents. The Greek champions have shown incredible resilience on the road and sit eight positions higher in the table. Ajax has lost all of their home matches this season and they have failed to score a single goal in front of their own fans. This makes the double chance very likely.
The return of key players like Ayoub El Kaabi strengthens the visitors attacking unit significantly. Ajax is missing important players like Weghorst and Berghuis which severely limits their potential to turn things around. Given that the hosts have conceded 19 goals already it is hard to imagine them winning this game. Supporting the visitors to avoid defeat is the smartest move for bettors today.
Over 1.5 Goals
Both teams have demonstrated a tendency to be involved in high scoring matches during this season. Ajax matches at home have a 100 percent record for over 1.5 goals which is very significant. Even though they have not scored themselves their defense allows many opportunities for the opposition. This creates a perfect environment for at least two goals to be scored during the ninety minutes.
Olympiacos also plays an attractive style of football that leads to plenty of action in both penalty areas. They average 3.33 total goals per away match which is one of the highest in the competition. Their defensive line is not perfect either conceding over two goals on average when playing away. Everything points towards an entertaining game with multiple goals for the fans to enjoy tonight.
