FC Copenhagen will host Ajax Amsterdam in the first leg of this Europa League Round of last 16 tie.
Copenhagen has been absolutely brilliant this season, losing a single match in all comptetition – a 0-1 defeat at Leicester in the UCL group stages. Despite losing just once, Copenhagen finished 3rd in that group due to drawing most of their matches and have been relegated to the Europa League to face Ludogorets – winning that tie after a 2-1 victory in Bulgaria and a 0-0 draw at home.
Ajax is also flying high right now, as the visitors are undefeated in 2017 and have made light work of Legia Warsaw in the previous Europa League round. Ajax got a 0-0 draw in Poland and secured qualification at home with a 1-0 win. The visitors are on the back of a 1-1 draw at Groningen, the first time they failed to win in the last 4 matches.

Ajax comes into this match with problems in the back line, as regular defenders Veltman and Sanchez are both suspended. Viergever is also a slight doubt, but he`s expected to feature considering the missings at the back.
FC Copenhagen: Olsen – Augustinsson, Ankersen, Jorgensen, Johansson – Falk, Toutouh, Kvist, Matic – Cornelius, Santander
Ajax Amsterdam: Onana – Tete, Sinkgraven, Viergever, De Ligt – Schone, Klaassen, Ziyech, Traore – Younes, Dolberg
Both teams are in fine form, having not lost a game so far in 2017. It’s hard to see either of them losing and a draw looks like the probable result in my eyes – especially considering that Copenhagen has been prone to draws in this European season.
I anticipate a tie game but, nevertheless, I will secure the bet in case Copenhagen wins – as home court advantage will be an important factor.
My tip is a draw on the Copenhagen win no bet market. Copenhagen losing at home to Ajax after being defeated a single time in all competitions all season (home and away) seems unlikely – especially as Copenhagen has not allowed a single goal at home in Europe this season. Also looking at Ajax’s problems at the back, the bet holds low risk in my eyes.
I can see a 0-0, 1-1 or maybe a 1-0 Copenhagen win, so the under looks good as well if you`re satisfied with odds around 1.55 – 1.60. For me, the choice remains Copenhagen win no bet – draw. Prediction: FC Copenhagen – Ajax Amsterdam 0-0.
Pick: Draw – Copenhagen win no bet

Hi Ristick, I appreciate all your hard work, and try to follow you most days. My problem is with these tips like on Copenhagen vs Ajax today. None of my books offer the Draw – Copenhagen win no bet. So often when I see these I do not know how to bet them with my options. In this case I put the under 2.5 on a parlay with Spurs in regulation. So now I want to bet the draw, but I will lose if either team wins. This is a big problem for me, I could bet two bets draw and Copenhagen to win, or draw first half, draw entire game, and Copenhagen to win.
Hey mate,
I am aware some of you guys can`t bet on these, it`s mostly available at UK bookies + Bwin. But if you want to bet on my suggestions, you can work around it.
Just an example, in this case, you could bet:
– 3 units on Copenhagen to win (2.45)
– 4 units on draw (3.15)
If Copenhagen wins, you basically get your money back.
If it`s a draw, you win 5.6 units.
You just need to do some math.
Hell, you can even bet the 1x or the x2. After all, my previews are meant to provide info and help you make a decision, not to force you to bet on my predictions.
Of course if you already took the under today, maybe just stick with that if you don`t want to put too many bets on the game. Good luck and thanks for following us mate!
thanks, I will go with the 3 units and 4.
