Under 2.5 Goals • 2.27

C’est une demi-finale retour qui promet du suspense au vu du score du match aller. Vainqueur 1-0 sur la pelouse des Spurs, l’Ajax a pris un léger avantage pour la qualification et va maintenant devoir finir le travail à domicile. Dans un stade qui promet d’offrir une ambiance de folie, les Lanciers vont tout faire pour vite prendre les commandes du match et se qualifier pour la grande finale à Madrid. Mais les Anglais peuvent encore créer la surprise et se verraient bien jouer un mauvais tour à l’Ajax. Seulement, les Spurs paraissent hors du coup depuis de nombreuses semaines et ils ont énormément de mal à l’extérieur. On voit donc mal Tottenham réaliser l’exploit et se qualifier pour la finale. On mise sur une victoire de l’Ajax dans un match plutôt fermé du côté anglais.

Tottenham Hotspur Win • 3.1

With the way this game is expect to go, backing the visitors to get at least five shots on target is a good way to side with at this price. With Son back and raring to go, likely leading the line with Lucas Moura, Spurs will have to go for it as they did in the second leg of the quarter-final against Man City. In that Etihad clash they had seven shots on target and, with Ajax making it difficult, the north Londoners may have a high shot count as they look to find a way through. In Ajax's home clashes against the European giants Bayern and Real Madrid, the visiting team had nine and eight shots on target respectively. Spurs, meanwhile, have averaged nearly six shots on target per game in the competition this term, so this could be worth a small play.

Ajax Win • 2.34

There will be fireworks when Ajax and Tottenham face each other at Johan Cruijff Arena in what is expected to be a great match. The Amsterdammers did well to beat Spurs 1-0 in London and they are now on a quest to defend their slim lead. The Dutch champions look unstoppable at the moment and seeing that Harry Kane remains in the recovery room, home win should be considered in the return leg.

The Premier League side head into Wednesday’s football game with a severely-weakened squad and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Ajax’s party at Johan Cruijff Arena. The Amsterdammers crushed Willem II 4-0 in their last league match, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Dusan Tadic, who is in the form of his life, will be the man to watch in the home team.

Draw • 3.66

Ajax will be full of confidence ahead of their welcome of Tottenham for this second leg clash. The Dutch giants earned a first leg 1-0 win in London and will be looking to build upon their KNVB Cup triumph on Sunday having swept Willem II aside in a 4-0 win.
Tottenham are ending the season poorly after a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth, a game in which they had Son Heung-Min and Juan Foyth sent off. Spurs have won only one of their last six in all competitions and they've lost nine of their last 10 on the road, with the exception a 1-0 Champions League win at Borussia Dortmund.
Son's availability is a huge boost to Tottenham and while they may score, Ajax should secure the result that earns them a Champions League final spot.

Ajax Win • 2.34

Ajax's incredible run has seen them overcome the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid, but they failed to win the home leg in both fixtures. This will give confidence to Tottenham, who themselves are boosted by the return of Son.

Despite their spells of control in the first leg, Tottenham were lacking any real goal threat, so the South Korean forward's return could be pivotal in this fixture.

Tottenham could well make a game of it, but Ajax might just have a little to much for the Premier League side.

Prediction: Ajax 1-1 Tottenham
