AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs Galatasaray Prediction and Betting Tips | November 5th 2025

Ajax Amsterdam will entertain Galatasaray at the Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam Arena) in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The hosts have lost all three games in the competition thus far and are at the bottom of the standings. Aslan have fared much better with two wins from three games.

de Godenzonen have endured a poor run of form recently, winning just one of their last six games. They met Heerenveen in the Eredivisie last week and were held to a 1-1 draw. They met Chelsea in their previous Champions League outing and suffered a 5-1 away loss.

The visitors head into the match in great form, winning six of their last eight games. Their winning streak ended after three games last week, as they were held to a goalless draw by Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super Lig. They overcame Bodo/Glimt at home in their previous Champions League outing, thanks to Victor Osimhen's brace.

• de Godenzonen have the joint-worst attacking and joint-worst defensive record in the Champions League this season. They have scored just one goal while conceding 11 times.

Ajax vs Galatasaray Prediction

de Godenzonen have won just one of their last six games across all competitions, with that triumph registered away from home. Notably, they have not kept a clean sheet in their last five home games.

Kenneth Taylor will serve a suspension in this match, while Steven Berghuis, Branco van den Boomen, and Kasper Dolberg are sidelined with injuries.

Cimbom failed to score for the first time this season in their draw against Trabzonspor last week and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.

İlkay Gündoğan is the only confirmed absentee for the visitors for this match.

The hosts have been in poor touch recently, and they have lost their last three games in the competition. With that in mind and considering Cimbom's current form, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
