THE PREDICTION
Ajax made a stunning start to their Champions League campaign with a 1-5 victory away at Sporting CP and it was former West Ham striker Sebastien Haller who stole the headlines having accounted for four of those goals. They have gone on to score an incredible 17 goals in their three Eredivisie matches since and in addition to Haller, they also boast the likes of Dusan Tadic, Steven Berghuis and Antony in their attacking ranks. Besiktas lost to Borussia Dortmund in their Group C opener and have looked defensively vulnerable lately having conceded nine goals in their four games across all competitions, with a number of key injuries not helping their cause. With Ajax on song and possessing plenty of firepower, the Dutch champions should have too much for the Turkish outfit and are tipped to take victory here in a match containing over 2.5 goals.
TIP: AJAX TO WIN AND OVER 2.5 GOALS
