Ajax Set to Avoid Defeat at Home

Ajax have netted four goals a game across their seven league matches at the Johan Cruijff Arena while conceding just 1.7. Every one of those home fixtures has also produced goals at both ends. Atalanta arrive with three defeats in their last five outings and have managed only 1.3 goals per game in their three league starts. The visitors have kept two clean sheets in that short spell but have yet to score away from home. Head-to-head results between the sides show one win apiece and a single draw in the last two meetings. Ajax sit as slight pre-match favourites and their attacking output at this venue supports an expectation they will at least avoid defeat. The main risk remains Atalanta’s compact away defensive shape limiting clear chances.
