UEFA Champions League: Ajax v Auxerre Preview and Team News

Tagged under: Champions League

Auxerre make the trip across Europe to face Ajax in the Champions League this evening. Bookmakers online are offering free bets to new customers as well as money back specials ahead of the Sky Sports televised game. Both teams have struggled in the competition so far this campaign, so the pressure really is on for tonight’s crunch clash. Auxerre lost a narrow encounter against Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid in the first match, losing 1-0 at home to the 9 times European Cup winners. They then followed that up with a 2-0 loss away at AC Milan, and in such a quality group it makes tonight match make or break for the French side. Ajax have fared slightly better, with just a point from their opening pair of games. They have drawn 1-1 at home to AC Milan and lost away at Real Madrid. The Dutch side now face an uphill battle to make it to the lucrative second round of the Champions League, as they will most probably be trying to grab that second place in the four-team battle. Uruguay’s World Cup saint and sinner Luis Suarez is the red hot favourite to score first in this one, and is 9/2 with bookmaker Blue Square to get off the mark first in Tuesday evening’s encounter. Ajax v Auxerre is live on Sky Sports interactive, with the game kicking off at 7.45pm. Odds correct at time of writing and are subject to change
