Ajax are on a 10 win streak, having last lost 2-1 to AZ Alkmaar in December 2021. Benfica quite unexpectedly lost to Gil Vicente in February, as well as a very dubious result against Boavista - 2:2 away.
In the last 10 games, Ajax have 10 wins, 39 goals and 1 conceded. Benfica has 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses; 16 scored and 13 missed. For the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that the level of competition in Primeira is many times higher than in the Eredivisie.
According to personal meetings, the last match between Benfica and Ajax was in 2018, a draw 1:1, at home Ajax then won 1:0. Also in 2014 there was a friendly match that ended in favor of Ajax.
Not playing for Ajax: Sean Klaiber, Brian Brobbay, Maarten Stekelenburg, Mohammed Ihattaren. Will not play for Benfica: Haris Seferovic, on the card: Rafa Silva, Julian Weigl, Joao Mario, Alejandro Grimaldo, Nicolas Otamendi.
Bookmakers give odds of 4.68 for Benfica and 1.77 for Ajax, 4.18 for a draw. Ajax are the clear favorite, but they play away. Knowing the nature of Benfica and the Portuguese fans, the game will be very tense and everything will be unpredictable until the last minute. I would risk and bet on Benfica to win at home for 4.68, due to the lack of sane competition from Ajax in the home championship.
Prediction: Benfica will beat Ajax in the Champions League - odds 4.68
