Napoli to Win
Napoli have won eight of their ten fixtures in all competitions making them 80% favorites to win this game as opposed to Ajax’s 60%. In addition, Napoli have a 100% record in the Champions League so far winning all of their three outings.
Over 2.5 Goals
Napoli games have been full of goals this term as the possibility to see over 2.5 goals in this game is 70%. Playing on the road, Ajax’s seven of their last ten fixtures produced three or more goals while both teams are scoring on average over 2.5 goals per game this season.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
In all three games so far in the UEFA Champions League, Napoli scored first and went ahead by 1-0. In addition, in six of the nine games played in Serie A, Napoli took a 1-0 lead over their opponents.
Napoli
Napoli did the unthinkable and beat Ajax at the Johan Cruijff Arena by 6-1 in an astonishing attacking display by Luciano Spaletti’s men. With that win, Napoli are now first in Group A with nine points and need a point to secure a knockout stage berth.
However, with the attacking style Spaletti plays, it is expected for the Neapolitans to go all out and go for a win. The Blues are averaging just over four goals a game showing no mercy whatsoever to their opponents and conceding just two goals in the whole 270 minutes of Champions League football in the 2022/23 campaign.
Overall, Napoli have scored 35 goals in 12 matches in Serie A and the Champions League which is an amazing tally given the fact that there is no single player who scored more than six goals.
Ajax
Ajax were going through a rough patch before they got some of their pride back in the Eredivisie last weekend beating Volendam 2-4. That win comes after a four-match winless streak during which Ajax lost three and drew one.
In the previous matchday of the UCL, the Dutch side suffered their worst defeat in front of their fans since 1960 in their loss to Napoli. With just two shots on goal compared to Napoli’s 13, Ajax had one of their worst performances at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
With three points gathered from three matches and still to host Liverpool, Ajax look to be in a very difficult position to win a place in the UCL knockout phase unless they come up with an extraordinary display in the next two games.
The bookies are favoring Napoli for a comfortable win in this one as who can write them off this season with the kind of level Spaletti’s men are showing? We will back a Napoli win on Wednesday which will allow them to secure a top-two finish.

The correct score group bet of 2-1 or 3-1 or 4-1 has odds of 3.70 at 22Bet and a high chance of realizing. To justify, Napoli won by one of these scores in five of their last eight fixtures. On the other side, Ajax lost two of their last three games by the score of 2-1. Hence, we will consider this bet as our quick profit choice.
Piotr Zielinski has scored three goals so far for Napoli this season in the UEFA Champions League and is one of the main reason’s for Spaletti’s success this season. In addition, Giacomo Raspadori’s inclusion in Napoli has been an inspiration as the Italian international is shining in southern Italy city.
Victor Osimhen is the only injured player for Napoli and is doubtful to play this game.
On Ajax’s side, Tadic is suspended for receiving a red card in the previous match. Also, Kaplan and Sanchez are both injured.
