Ajax host Chelsea on Matchday 3 as both teams look to maintain their fine form.
The Dutch side come into this match having picked up impressive 3-0 wins over Lille and Valencia in their opening two Champions League matches this season.
Ajax are sitting pretty at the top of Group H, while Chelsea are three points behind in 3rd place.
The Blues were defeated 1-0 at home by Valencia on Matchday 1, before claiming an excellent away victory at Lille in the previous round.
Chelsea’s win in France will have pleased manager Frank Lampard. He will be delighted with how his team performed and it shows that the English club are capable of picking up results on the road in Europe.
Lampard’s men clinched a much-need clean sheet against Newcastle in their previous match. Chelsea have been deadly going forward but have leaked too many goals this term.
The Blues are 4th in the Premier League, two points behind second-place Manchester City with a record of W5/D2/L2.
They are the third-highest scorers in the league, but only three sides have conceded more goals than Chelsea in England’s top-flight.
On the other hand, Ajax are flying in the Eredivisie. They are unbeaten so far this season and boast a record of W8/D2/L0.
The Amsterdam outfit has the best defensive record in the Dutch top-flight and has also scored a whopping 31 goals (at an average of just over three goals per game).
Many people thought that Ajax would struggle this season after losing star performers Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt in the summer transfer window.
However, the team has picked up where it left off last season and the squad hasn’t shown any signs that it has been weakened.
Quincy Promes has scored in both of Ajax’s Champions League games this season and has also netted six goals in ten top-flight appearances since his move from Spartak Moscow.
As for Chelsea, Tammy Abraham sits at the top of the goal-scoring charts in the Premier League, level with Sergio Aguero on eight goals.
This is set to be an exciting encounter, as two young teams battle it out in Group H.
Chelsea have claimed five straight wins in all competitions, and this theme looks set to continue on Wednesday.
Forebet predicts that both teams will score, but Chelsea look set to come out on top.
