Champions League: Qarabag vs Ajax 10/12/2025

2-4

Betting on Goals

Qarabag have had an impressive run in the Champions League, and with seven points from their first five matches, they are firmly in the race for a place in the knockout stage. This season they are quite different compared to previous ones — they now play a much more modern style of football. With speed, intensity, and solid structure, they create chances easily in almost every match.

In six qualification matches, they scored 15 goals, and in five Champions League games, they’ve scored eight. They absolutely need a win to strengthen their position in the battle for qualification, and with the confidence they’ve built, it’s reasonable that they are considered favorites.

Ajax this season are not a high-level team. That is evident in the domestic league — where they sit in fourth place, 14 points behind the leaders — and in the Champions League, where they are at the bottom of the table as the only team without a single point.

They have five losses in five matches, with a combined goal difference of 1–16. Their chances of qualifying are realistically over, but in the Champions League the motivation is always high. Against an opponent that does not intimidate them, I expect Ajax to play attacking football and fight for their chances. They come into this match after two consecutive wins in the domestic league and will want to extend that run. The match should be fast, with chances on both sides, and it is unlikely to feature few goals.
