UEFA Champions League picks for Ajax vs. benfica
Before tuning into Tuesday’s Champions League clash, you need to see the Ajax vs. Benfica picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For Ajax vs. Benfica, Eimer is expecting both teams to score at -185 odds. Ajax is one of the top scoring teams in all of Europe, having notched two or more goals in 13 of its last 15 games. Ajax recorded eight shots on target in the first leg while holding possession for 60 percent of the match. The Dutch side is led by forward sebastien hallerwho has scored 11 goals in Champions League play this season.
Benfica, meanwhile, has scored at least one goal in its last 14 fixtures across all competitions. The Eagles recorded 17 shots in the first match against Ajax, and they’ll be confident they can find the back of the net against a defense that has given up eight goals in its last five outings.
“Ajax has conceded more goals in their last three league games than their previous 20 games before that,” Eimer told SportsLine. “While this team has no trouble scoring, they will have a hard time clean sheeting a Benfica side that has scored in 19 of its last 20 games across all competitions.”
