On Wednesday 13 February the Champions League returns to the field to play two more rounds of the first knockout rounds. The first challenge we want to analyze is the one that puts at 21:00 the Ajax of Erik Ten Hag and the Real Madrid of Santiago Solari at the Johann Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. Here is the analysis of the match and the prediction of Ajax vs Real Madrid.
The Ajax obviously starts with the disadvantages of the forecast, given that the spearmen are technically inferior to the blancos. In addition the training led by the technician Erik Ten Hag is not going through a brilliant period of form, as in Eredivisie two defeats have arrived in the last three days. First the reverse for 6-2 on the field of Feyenoord, then the 1-0 at home Heracles. However in the Champions League the Dutch behaved very well in the group stage, holding head to Bayern Monaco and even touching the record.
On the other hand, Real Madrid is instead in great dust. After a start of the troubled season and overwhelmed by controversy and winds of crisis, in the last two months the formation of Santiago Solari has taken off the flight also reopening a speech in La Liga that seemed closed. In fact, now there are only six lengths to be recovered at Barcelona, with a Real who comes to this challenge with a high morale after having won the Wanda Metropolitan derby against Atletico for 3-1.
Ajax vs Real Madrid have faced each other so far in twelve previous officers. In total calculation are the white to lead with 7 wins, compared with 4 achievements of the lancers and a draw. The most recent direct comparison is that of the 2012-2013 group stage, in which Real Madrid prevailed with a double 4-1.
As for the prediction of the match, our advice is to bet on the victory of Real Madrid, with the white that in the Champions League seems with the wind in the stern and will not want to abdicate easily after three years of total domination.
