Ajax vs Benfica – The first leg ended in a high-scoring battle between these two offensive behemoths, and the same is expected tomorrow.
Ajax is the reigning Dutch champion, and they are on a mission to defend their title. They have the most goals in the Eredivisie and have quickly carried that form over to the Champions League.
The fact that they are playing at home will boost their confidence, and fans will be hoping for a goal-fest against the Portuguese visitors.
Meanwhile, Benfica are a formidable opponent. They have been the best offensive team in the Primeira Liga this season and are in contention for a top-three finish.
Expect a slugfest when these two meet this Sunday at the Johan Crujiff Arena. The bets on BTTS and Over 2.5 Match Goals appear to be very promising.
