Real Madrid vs Ajax Odds 2010 UEFA Champions League: Two ex UEFA Champions League winners face each other this Wednesday when Real Madrid host Ajax at 14:45 PM ET at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in a group G clash. The Real Madrid vs. Ajax UEFA Champions League Money line has the Spanish -350 and the Dutch +900 at BETUS.com
Neither of these two teams are champions in their respective leagues but they fell really short to nail it last year as both ended behind Barcelona and Twente for just a few points. Real Madrid signed the best coach in the world this offseason in Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese is coming off winning it all with Inter Milan last year and expect to do the same with the Spanish.
Consider this is not a regular matchup because between both teams have 13 European titles and both have a lot of history in European soccer. “The Champions League is the one everybody wants to win but it's a competition that's more about details, and for that reason it's not the best team that wins the trophy. Ajax has a great history, just like Real Madrid. Both teams are giants in the history of football but now both need to find their way back to European success”, said Mourinho.
Real Madrid beat Osasuna 1-0 last weekend but they failed to convince the crowd that they are ready to be the best team in the continent. Consider the Spanish have six years without advancing over the round of 16 and the home crowd is really desperate to win something in Europe; last time they did it was in 2002.
Ajax on the other hand haven´t win a European title since 1994 when they beat AC Milan in the final but despite they are not favorites to win this season they have a pretty group of players that will give a lot to talk about. Last season Ajax finished second behind Twente in the Eredivisie by a point but their offensive power was proved when they scored 106 goals, 43 more than the Champions, which is pretty remarkable.
Ajax is the kind of team that could score more than one goal in any given game, Luis Suarez is their best player and scoring machine but he won´t play today due to a suspension.
“The absence of Luis Suárez and Vertonghen is unusual for us but we are motivated and have no problem playing without them. Suárez scores about 50% of our goals but we're confident we can score one or two without him. Ajax are about to play against one of the biggest teams in the world; that's the level we are at the moment. It's a great experience for everyone, myself included. For a lot of the younger ones it's an absolute dream to play this game”, said Ajax coach, Martin Jol.
