AEK managed to beat the formidable Brighton 2:3 away in the first round. The team was noticeably helped by more experience in European competitions, but still the Greek club still has problems in defence.
Ajax are not like themselves this season, in the Eredivisie the team is in 15th place with only 5 points after 5 rounds (this is one of the worst starts for Ajax in a long time). The same instability was in the first UEFA Europa League game against Marseille - Ajax led 2-0 by the 20th minute, but eventually the match ended 3-3.
Ajax are nominally favourites, but AEK can surprise, and Ajax are still far from the peak of their form, so it is better to bet on the goals.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.64
