Ajax vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting Tips (26 September)

Ajax Amsterdam, it's no longer a secret, is a team that has been in full reconstruction for 2 years. A little after its exceptional run in the Champions League 1/2 final in 2019, Ajax Amsterdam therefore sank, and has played it a little more modest since. 5th in the Eredivise last year, Ajax went through the qualifications to compete in the league phase of the C3 during which they took over Panathinaikos in the 3rd round 1-0/0-1/ 13- 12 tab, and Jagiellonia Bialystok in the play-off 1-4/3-0. In the championship, it is currently delicate 12th, on September 13. Opposite, Besiktas Istanbul JK is not in a favorable situation in Türkiye either.

At a time when Galatasaray took power, Fenerbahce, leader on September 13, seems much better equipped to challenge the champion for the title. Directly qualified for the Europa League play-offs, Besiktas beat Lugano 3-3 in the first leg after an XXL demonstration against the Swiss club 5-1 in Türkiye. The start of the championship is consistent for the winner of the Turkish Super Cup at the start of the year 5-0 against Galatasaray. Indeed, we find Besiktas in the top 3 for the moment. 

Ajax Amsterdam expected to lose more players during this transfer window. Indeed, G.Mikautadze (13 million euros, Metz) was more or less pushed towards the exit after a failed first 6 months in 2023-24, behind however the Old Lady lost Steven Bergwijn (Al-Hilal, 22 million euros), and Francisco Conceiçao (FC Porto, 10 million euros). Conversely, the return of B.Traoré is appreciable, the loan of Rugani and the contribution of Weghorst offensively. Centrals Kaplan and Avila, midfielders Mannsverk and Taylor, as well as offensive players Godts, Van Axel-Dongen and Berghuis are not sure they will be able to play this match.

 Opposite, Besiktas JK still managed a very nice move on the transfer market with the arrival of Al-Musrati (11 million euros, Braga) and that of Rafa Silva, the legend of Benfica Lisbon and Portuguese international . In terms of departures we can note that of Valentin Rosier who left to join Leganes in Spain. Up front, Ciro Immobile is already setting the opposing defenses on fire with 3 goals to his account, recruited for only 2 million euros but aged 34 today. Bad news, Amartey, Uysal and Oxlade-Chamberlain are not qualified to compete in the C3.
