The match

The Dutch Champions Ajax were minutes away from reaching the UEFA Champions League final last season, but will have to overcome Cypriot side Apoel Nicosia to qualify for the group stage this year. The visitors are looking to reach the group stage of the competition for the fifth time themselves, so there is a lot at stake in this tie. Both sides have had to come through tight battles in the third qualifying round to make it this far. Apoel are looking to reach the group stage for the fifth time and second in three years. A nervy 3-2 win over Qarabag in the previous round, underlined by their 2-0 away win, is the highlight of Apoel’s campaign so far. The Dutch giants have won their last four away European games in 2018/19, which included wins over Real Madrid, Juventus and Tottenham. As such, Ajax were unbeaten on the road in the last season Champions League. Their rich performances in the group stage last season meant that they became the first side in the European Cup history to reach the semis after coming through the qualifying rounds. If they need to repeat those heroics, Ajax need to improve their Champions League playoffs record, which currently is W2, L1. The Dutch side is unbeaten in ten away Europe games (W5, D5).

Key Statistics

  • Apoel have won four of their six Champions League play-off ties (W4, L2), but have lost two of the last three.
  • Ajax have won their last four Champions League away matches, scoring at least two goals in three.
  • Ajax have lost only two of their last 18 European matches (W10, D6, L2).

The bet of our experts

Ajax have a positive record against the Cypriot clubs, winning four of their six matches (W4, D1, L1) so far. However, their away record is W1, D1, L1 and Apoel would be looking to take advantage of that. The Cypriots have won four of their six Champions League playoff ties (W4, L2), but have lost two of the last three. It could be another interesting encounter with action from both sides.
