Ajax vs Rostov Betting Tips, Predictions and Preview

Ajax vs Rostov predictions and betting tips for this week’s Champions League qualifying first leg with the best odds for each of our three bets.

The first leg of this round of Champions League qualifiers gets underway on Tuesday and Ajax will host Russian underdogs Rostov at the Amsterdam Arena scheduled for a 19:45 kick off.

 

Ajax vs Rostov Preview

Ajax haven’t been in the best of form recently and although they are avoiding defeat, three draws in the last five games both scoring and conceding goals hasn’t got Ajax off to the ideal start to this season. In the last round it took a lot of courage to get through to the next round as they drew the home leg against POAK but went away and got a 2-1 win when needed.

A bit like Leicester it was nearly a fairy tale season for Rostov who were right in the thick of it at the end of last season and just fell short of landing the Russian title. However, the season can still be considered a success and it would be a dream for them to get past Ajax and progress into the Champions League group stages. Defeat to Zenit over the weekend may just have brought them back to reality.

 

Ajax vs Rostov Predictions

Going to Russia is never easy for any team in Europe as we have constantly seen over the years. Ajax will definitely be looking to take an advantage over there for the second leg as they must avoid being knocked out in the qualifying round for the second year running.

My first Ajax vs Rostov prediction is going to be an Ajax win. This seems a fair price from the bookies as they are favourites going into the game and are definitely considered the better of the two sides. In the latest Ajax vs Rostov betting odds Ajax are best priced 3/4 with Ladbrokes to win the match.

Ajax games have produced goals lately with both teams scoring in each of the last five games, showing they can both score and concede. Rostov will definitely be looking to keep it as tight as possible for the return leg in Russia but if Ajax get a goal or two they will definitely have to come out of the blocks. The game against Zenit at weekend finished 3-2 showing they aren’t afraid to go for it when needed.

My second Ajax vs Rostov betting tip is going to be over 2.5 goals in the game. I think an early goal will definitely get this bet rolling. The best odds for this are currently 13/10 with Coral and that’s well worth a bet.

Based on my first two Champions League predictions I think that a correct score of 2-1 in the Dutch teams favour is definitely worth a punt to complete our Ajax vs Rostov prediction for this Champions League qualifier. I think both teams would be fairly happy going into the second leg with that and seems quite a likely outcome. The best odds for this are currently 8/1 with Betfair.
