Ajax and Napoli will compete in the next match of the 3rd round of the Champions League group stage. Will the guests be able to extend the winning streak?
Ajax
In the last round, Ajax played away with Liverpool, and was close to snagging a draw, but still could not withstand the pressure, conceding in the 89th minute, as a result of which they lost 1-2. As for the match of the first round, the Amsterdam club celebrated a confident victory in it, defeating Rangers 4-0. Before the third round, Ajax failed in two consecutive rounds in the Dutch championship. I lost 1-2 to AZ and parted in peace with the Go Ehead Eagles (1-1).
Napoli
But Napoli is doing great, and this applies to both the Italian Championship and the Champions League. In Serie A, the Neapolitan team has four victories in a row and shares first place with Atalanta, having twenty points, and in the Champions League group stage scored the maximum number of points in two rounds, coping first with Liverpool on their own field with a 4-1 result, and then away with Rangers, scoring three unanswered goals.
Statistics and figures:
- Ajax has three points out of six;
- Napoli won in both rounds of the group stage;
- Previously, the paths of Ajax and Napoli did not intersect.
Forecast
Napoli is in great shape, winning on all fronts, and Ajax has started to stumble. I think that the guests will be able to at least not lose.
