Benfica
This is a match that Benfica should fully capitalize on.
Ajax arrive in terrible form, currently without a coach and showing the worst defense in the Champions League, conceding 14 goals in just 4 matches. They are also winless in their last four games, three of which ended in defeat.
Benfica, on the other hand, are in a far better place just one loss in their last five, and that narrow 0-1 defeat came against Leverkusen in the Champions League.
What we say
Benfica to Win
Both clubs desperately need points, as they sit near the bottom of the group and far from the qualification spots.
However, Benfica enter this matchup with greater defensive stability, stronger form, and the experience of José Mourinho, while Ajax look disorganized, out of rhythm, and extremely fragile at the back. This combination makes Benfica the more reliable side to take all three points.
