THE PREDICTION

Ajax have impressed from the get-go in the Champions League and, having won all four games so far, have already guaranteed their passage to the round of 16. Besiktas, on the other hand, have lost all of their games and have also been struggling domestically where they are languishing in mid-table so this looks like a relative mismatch in terms of form and confidence. Erik ten Hag may be tempted to rest one or two of his key men for this contest but they possess enough depth to get the job done here and the prediction is for the Eredivisie side to ease to victory in a match containing over 2.5 goals.
