On Wednesday night, Ajax host Bayern Munich in Group E of the Champions League, as the pair battle it out for top spot.

Ajax are currently second in the group two points behind group leaders Bayern Munich in the race for top spot. Only a victory will do for the Dutch side to leapfrog the visitors.

The home side are unbeaten in 13 games in the Champions league having started in the qualifying rounds. Their recent games in this competition have been tight low scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches, including their last four games.

Ajax have a strong recent home record in the Champions League, as the Dutch side are unbeaten in eight matches at the Johan Cruyff Arena. They have also recorded five straight European wins on home soil while scoring at least two goals in five of their last six games.

Bayern Munich are six games unbeaten in Europe, having recorded four wins in the process. The German giants have recorded three straight wins in the Champions league while scoring at least twice in all three victories.

Die Bayern’s recent games in Europe’s elite competition have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.

The visitors have a strong recent away record in this competition, winning six of their last seven away games. Bayern’s recent games on their travels have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of their last 12 away matches in Europe.

A big factor in those high scoring games has been Bayern’s attacking prowess, as the German team have now scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 away games in European football.

Forebet predicts that Bayern Munich will record a victory in a high scoring game to finish top of the group.
