Prediction: 1-2
Ajax
Stade Maurice Dufrasne will host Tuesday’s football game between Standard Liege and Ajax. This is expected to be a very entertaining clash as both teams should adopt an attack-minded approach. The Red Devils were struggling at the back in pre-season and we do not believe that they are capable of keeping a clean shit in the first leg. The Amsterdammers, on the other hand, eliminated Sturm in the Champions League second qualifying round without any difficulties and they are considered hot favourites to win the double-header against Standard. Summer signing Dusan Tadic has already adapted to the new surroundings and seeing that experienced attacker Huntelaar has already found his goal-scoring touch, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Tuesday’s clash. Given their attacking styles of play a high-scoring affair is on the horizon.
