Free soccer picks
Ajax Amsterdam comes from Nicosia with a dangerous result. After the goalless first leg, each draw is enough for the visitors to score in the premier class. But Ajax is from the point of view of the bookmakers and our prediction a big favorite, tip 1 raises a rate that can not be played as a single bet. Consequently, we have to switch to other betting markets, which we will analyze in more detail in this section. In the first leg saw 5 players of the Dutch a yellow card, Noussair Mazraoui also the yellow-red.

The Moroccan right-back is therefore missing in the home game against Apoel. Ajax played in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the preseason and can have a lot of international experience. This year, the Amsterdammers have already climbed out of a home win after a draw. Ajax came home after a 2-2 draw with PAOK Salonika. In the preseason Ajax lost only 2 of the 18 international games, with 10 wins and 6 draws. For the Champions League winner of 1995 is about the 16th participation in the preliminary round of the premier class.

Ajax and Apoel Nicosia have played against each other 3 times already. The Amsterdammers had never been beaten before. Both away games ended in a 1-1 draw, home game Ajax won 4-0. A similar result would not be a big surprise, according to our predictions. Cypriot football has caught up with Dutch over the past few years. This can be seen in the UEFA five-year standings, in which Cyprus is currently in 15th place, the Netherlands in 11th place.

But Ajax is the internationally much more renowned and successful team to Apoel and therefore also in the home game of this playoff to favor. The successes - especially in the preseason, but also by the European League Final 2017 - Ajax is in the 21st place of the UEFA club coefficient. In home games against Cypriot clubs, the Dutch have a completely white vest: In 3 games in Amsterdam, the home team scored 16 goals and received none.

Will Apoel draw Nicosia into the premier class for the fifth time?
Free soccer tips
Apoel Nicosia held in the first leg against the big favorites well. Coach Thomas Doll's team even had a great chance of winning the game in defeat, but Andrija Pavlović only hit the crossbar. In the second leg, Cyprus draws with goals. For this Double Chance bet X / 2 you get from the Bookies 4.50s odds. Apoel is thus a clear outsider in this encounter. In a normal gameplay, the guests will get our forecasts for nothing.

After all, the club and the Cypriot league pull all the stops and have moved the first two league games Nicosia. Maybe it helps. The club eliminated two on the way to the playoff, Montenegro's Sutjeska with 2 to-zero wins and Azerbaijan's Qarabag with a 2-0 away win to Heimpleite. The Doll-Eleven has already shown this year that they can take something from a distance on a European level, even if their opponents did not have a caliber like Ajax. The club wants to join the Champions League group for the fifth time, for the first time in 2 years.

In the previous year they reached the playoff for the Europa League, but dropped out against Astana on penalties. Apoel is a small surprise bag to the results abroad. In recent years, for example, they won at Olympiakos and drew at Slavia Prague and Dortmund at least draw. But you also lost at Suduva and in Tallinn. We predict that it will be very difficult for Nicosia to survive in Amsterdam and maybe score points there. In 4 of the last 5 Apoel-guest-games, only one of the two teams scored goals. When both teams meet - no can be quite decent odds take. In 4 of the last 5 and in 9 of the 13 most recent away games, there were less than 2.5 goals to go. An under bet can therefore be considered quite well.

Bet Tip and Forecast
Under 2.5 goals raises very high odds, but due to the class difference in our forecast, but rather unlikely. But for less than 3.5 goals in regular time, you still get very good odds, which is why we recommend this variation. Alternatively, you can play a half-time victory from Ajax.

Free soccer predictions
Amsterdam lost only two of its last 23 CL games
APOEL have been without a clean sheet five times in their last six CL games
At home, Ajax had to make a point against clubs from Cyprus and not accept a goal
Free soccer picks
The route is clear: Ajax must win in order to enter the group stage. Of course, the hosts go into the game as clear favorites. How to get out of the CL qualifier anyway in the semifinals, Amsterdam has shown in the previous year. At that time the team of coach ten Hag had to enter the competition with the second qualifying round.
Free soccer tips
Also the record in the premier class speaks for the home side, who conceded in the last 23 CL games only two defeats: against Real and the Spurs. After the somewhat disappointing performance in the first leg, Ajax will improve significantly on Wednesday night. Missing the Champions League group stage would be a big disappointment for the Dutch champions.
Free soccer picks
But that should not happen in our opinion. Ajax will be fully on attack and with a clear home win no doubt about reaching the next round. Even after departures such as de Jong and de Ligt, the team of coach Ten Hag is still much better occupied than the champions from Cyprus.

We expect a clear victory for the home side and put in the duel Ajax Amsterdam vs.. APOEL Nicosia our tip on "win Ajax Amsterdam despite a handicap of minus 2.5 goals".

Ajax and APOEL NIcosia played a 0-0 draw a week ago. So nothing has been decided yet, in this diptych on the threshold of the group stage of the Champions League.
Free soccer picks
Ajax:
Ajax appeared in Cyprus moderately last week. Apart from a reasonable phase in the first half, the team from Amsterdam remained far below their level. In the end, the semi-finalist of last year was not allowed to grumble with the 0-0 final score. During the ninety minutes the Cypriots were several times dangerous for the goal of Andre Onana. Just like in the previous round, Ajax played a draw in the first match. Noussair Mazraoui took two yellow cards in Nicosia and cannot be used on Wednesday.
Free soccer tips
A bigger loss is probably the non-participation of Donny van de Beek, who will have to pass in the coming weeks due to an injury. Erik ten Hag has several options to replace Van de Beek, although none of the variants is really ideal. Quincy Promes or David Neres could play behind the striker. Klaas Jan Huntelaar could also get a base place, with which Dusan Tadic drops a line. Perhaps it is more likely that Ten Hag will save Huntelaar as pinchhitter, if something has to be forced in the event of an unfavorable position.
Free soccer predictions
Changes are also possible in the defensive part of the team. Daley Blind is also an option for the central position in the rear. Purchase Edson Alvarez can also play in the back and in the midfield. It is a gamble to give him a basic place in this competition.
APOEL Nicosia:
The Cypriot national champion achieved a final score with perspective last week. Nevertheless, after the satisfaction was not so great on the side of APOEL. Given the moderate shape of the Dutch opponent, more could have been possible. It was APOEL that, especially after the break, caused the greatest danger. With a little more fortune, the Cypriots could have started the return in Amsterdam with a head start.
Free soccer picks
Just like Ajax, APOEL did not have to play in their national league last weekend. The Cypriots are in the strange situation that they have already played five European matches, but have not played in their own country this season. Midfielder Savvas Gentsoglou received a yellow card in the first leg. This was already the third in this European campaign, so he will have to watch a match.
