Besiktas from Turkish Super Lig and Ajax from Eredivisie are set to lock horns this week at the Vodafone Park in a UEFA Champions League group C fixture. The match schedules for kickoff on 24th November 2021 at 20:45 EAT.
The home side is placed in the 9th place with 20 points after 13 matches they have played in their league (Super Lig) however they are struggling in their group (C) where they are placed at the bottom having lost in all the previous four matches they have played. Besiktas have already been eliminated from this campaign but they will be hoping for at least a point.
The away team on the other side is the table toppers in the Eredivisie with 30 points after 13 matches played and are also on top of their Champions League group stage where unlike the opponents they have won in all the previous matches they have played and they will be looking for a fifth straight win in this game.
Beşiktaş will be looking to bounce back following 2-0 Super Lig lose to Alanyaspor in their last game. In that game, they managed 63% possession, 16 shots with five of them on target. Alanyaspor got 12 shots with three of them on target and goals by Khouma Babacar (14′) and Famara Diédhiou (94′).
Ajax heads into this game on the back of 0-5 Eredivisie victory to beat RKC Waalwijk in their most recent match. In that match, they had 68% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 10 of them on target and goals scored by Sébastien Haller (17′, 83′), Steven Berghuis (42′, 57′) and Jurriën Timber (74′). RKC Waalwijk got nine shots with two of them on target.
Ajax is in such great form having secured the top spot in the group after winning all four of their matches so far, we expect them to keep the streak going against Besiktas, who they beat 2-0 in the first match. Besiktas will try to grab some points but it will not be a walk in the park.
