Ajax vs Liverpool prediction and match preview
Eredivisie giants Ajax have made quite a strong start to their domestic campaign and are sitting in 2nd place on the league table with 12 points from four games. The Dutch side suffered their first defeat of the season against Groningen prior to the international break but bounced back with a 5-1 win over Heerenveen at the weekend. Although Ajax have managed only one win in their last six meetings against English teams, the hosts will fancy their chances against a relatively weakened Liverpool side.
