Owing to a completely injury-free squad to pick from, the Ajax boss John Heitinga has zero fitness worries to speak of ahead of this clash.
💭 Prediction
We believe that Chelsea should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Ajax are also probably going to find it difficult to break down their defence although we do think it’s probable that they will be converting at least once here.
We can therefore see a decent 3-1 winning score for Chelsea when the full-time whistle blows.
