Can Ajax reconcile the fans? - Forecast & expert analysis

The Dutch Eredivisie entered the winter break a few days ago. This makes the clash against Istanbul all the more important for the home side from Amsterdam, which we examine in this Ajax - Galatasaray analysis. Because: At European level, Ajax have recently shown a face that - thank God - has not been seen in the league. After initially being absolutely convincing on 4 Europa League matchdays with 3 wins and a draw and delivering some truly gala performances, this was no longer the case on the last 3 matchdays before this Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip. They were recently beaten 1:0 by the crass underdogs RFS (Rigas Futbola Skola). There has never been a defeat against a Latvian representative in the history of the Dutch club. Accordingly, the home team is under a lot of pressure in this Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip. They are currently 16th in the Europa League table, but are only 3 points behind the top 10. This is quite surprising given the recent defeats against Riga and Lazio Roma (1:3) and Real Sociedad (0:2).

Now we come to the results in the league in this Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip, which could also be an indication for Thursday. In this one, they remained undefeated at home, celebrating 8 wins on 9 occasions and also recording a draw. The most recent win, however, was away against Heerenveen with a 2:0 victory, followed by a 2:1 win against Waalwijk. In the Europa League, on the other hand, there were victories against Besiktas (4:0) and Maccabi Tel Aviv (5:0). Ajax have never been without a goal in home games to date, so a goal or two should also be possible next Thursday. Accordingly, an Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip for at least one goal for both teams would be a variant that you should include in your considerations. Especially since Ajax have also been extremely accurate at home recently and traditionally have dynamic wingers who, in our opinion, can cause problems for almost any team in the world.

Galatasaray hoping for an away win - analysis & betting predictions

The visitors from Istanbul can be more or less relaxed in this Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip. After all, the knockout phase or at least the play-offs are more or less certain for the traditional Turkish side. In addition, the men from the Bosphorus are still unbeaten in European competition. They have won 3 and drawn 4 of their 7 games so far. Their most recent match was a real battle against Dynamo Kiev, which ended in a 3:3 draw. A bitter result, as Dynamo Kiev barely got a foot on the floor in the Europa League season before that. Before that, "Gala" also scored against Malmö (2:2) and Alkmaar (1:1). Not a good omen for next Thursday: the victories in the current season on the international stage have all been celebrated at home, as in the duels with PAOK Salonik (3:1), Elfsborg (4:3) and Tottenham (3:2). Based on these figures, you can definitely expect several goals for a possible Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip, as the Turkish defense has been anything but secure internationally so far. Gala have conceded two or more goals in 5 out of 7 games, but have also scored in every single game of the competition. Interesting fact: Although these two teams are more or less regulars in European competitions, this is the very first direct duel between Ajax and Galatasaray.

The visitors are the measure of all things in the Turkish Süper Lig - we also want to shed some light on these results in our Ajax - Galatasaray betting tip. They are currently 9 points ahead of eternal rivals Fenerbahce Istanbul, and "Gala" have yet to lose a single league game. The Turks' only defeats of the current season came in the Champions League qualifiers against Young Boys from Bern, but these were a long time ago, as they played at the end of August (!) 2024. In terms of Ajax - Galatasaray betting tips, you should therefore expect the visitors to win a point on Thursday. Whether it will be enough for a full success, however, is doubtful. However, we believe that "Gala" will be able to score a goal or two, not only because they have the right personnel in attack, such as players like Osimhen or Baris Yilmaz. Another attacking superstar, Mauro Icardi, who is still injured, will not be available.
