One of the larger betting events of the week takes place Wednesday evening: Ajax v Spurs to play in the Champions League Final June 1.
This matchup will take place at 3 pm EST, 20:00 London Time.
Ajax is at 7/5 odds, Tottenham 2/1 and the Draw at 5/2.
Only one team has lost the first leg of a Champions League semi-final at home and progressed to the final – Ajax in 1995-96.
Tottenham would become the 40th different team to reach the European Cup/Champions League final and the first to reach its first final since London rivals Chelsea in 2008.
Since the start of 2018, Spurs have won only one of their six Champions League away games, a 1-0 victory at Dortmund in this season’s round of 16 (D3 L2).
Ajax has played 17 games in the Champions League this season, including six in qualifying. It has lost just one of these encounters.
Ajax is without a win in its last three Champions League home games however.
From FreeSuperTips.com:
Tottenham’s European hopes this season have likely taken a hit from their game at the weekend. Defending for almost a full half with just nine men is bound to take it’s toll, especially as they head to one of Europe’s most demanding sides. Ajax move the ball so well and they’re capable of running rings around a sluggish side. If they show any kind of weakness here, the Dutch side are likely to take advantage. Among the 2018/19 Champions League semi-finalists, Ajax are the only club to have scored in every game in the competition this season. That’s likely to make it a tough night for the Spurs defence.
