The friendly against Ajax they lost 4-2. In the season 16/17 they also denied a qualification for the Champions League against Ajax. In that they lost 2-1 at home and scored in Amsterdam 1-1. In 10/11, at least one draw each was possible in qualifying, a 1: 1 and a 3: 3 to be exact.

Since the 01.07.2019 they are trained by Abel Ferreira. The 40-year-old currently has a success rate of 1.66 PPS as a coach and is thus clearly inferior to his counterpart. Ferreira, a native of Portugal, was previously coach of the SC Braga with great success. Until 2011 he was a player at Sporting, where he played several seasons in total. Under his leadership, they completed only the test matches so far. 10 new signings are currently represented in the squad.

Among the best known are probably Anderson Esiti from KAA Gent, Douglas Augusto from Corinthians, Miroslav Stoch from Slavia Prague, Enera Mihaj from Panetolikos and Dimitrios Meliopoulos from AO Xanthi. 2 of the new players were taken from their own U19 team. 19 players were also given. You can be curious in any case, how recorded their squad is. In the upcoming game they will miss Mauricio Vieirinha and Pontus Wernbloom due to injury. A quick look at the previous season showed us that they have already played 3 qualifying rounds for the Champions League.

They could win the home game against Basel 2: 1, the home game against Spartak Moscow with 3: 2 and the home game against Benfica lost them with 1: 4. Considering that they have been struggling against dominant teams so far, we see little chance of winning here.

Liege, a Lisandro Martinez from Defensa and a Kik Pierie from SC Heerenveen as well as a Kjell Scherpen from FC Emmen.

So close yet so far! Only a few weeks ago, Amsterdam was dreaming of winning the Henkelpot, but was bitterly torn from the dream in the stoppage time of the semi-final! Whether this opportunity will again offer? Questionable! The fact is, in any case, that first two qualifying rounds have to be overcome in order to be represented at all in the group phase! It comes in the third round to the duel between the Greek champion PAOK Thessaloniki and Ajax Amsterdam! If you believe the odds, the visiting team has a better chance of winning.

Free soccer predictions

Despite the outstanding Ajax results last season, the Dutch Eredivisie has not secured a place in the UEFA Champions League 2019/20 season. So the master has to go the arduous way. Greece has not had a fixed place for a long time! The task for the Greeks is aggravated by the fact that the domestic championship does not start until 25 August.

On Matchday 5 of the 2018/19 season, PAOK Saloniki was able to prevail at the big favorite Olympiakos Piraeus in the stranger with 1: 0 and climbed to the top of the table of the Greek league. This place was the team of head coach Razvan Lucescu (son of Mircea) no longer out of hand. In the domestic championship PAOK acted outstanding and with 26 wins and only four draws, the third championship of the club's history could be confidently fixed. There was also reason to celebrate in the cup competition after the win against AEK Athens, which meant the double.

Free soccer picks

Nationally, the Greeks were a power. International, meanwhile, PAOK Thessaloniki launched quite surprisingly (the knock-out duels against FC Basel and Spartak Moscow were won), had to be defeated in the play-offs to the premier class, however, Benfica Lisbon. The Europa League group stage was disappointing with five defeats and a win. Although Greek teams are often called home strong, PAOK Salonika has lost the last four home games on international stage!

Free soccer predictions

Another argument against the Greeks is certainly the late start of the season and the change of coach. After the outstanding national season head coach Lucescu left the club and hired in Saudi Arabia at Al Hilal. On the positive side, however, the preparation results were promising (last four wins in a row, 17 goals in these games) and also the fact that Neo coach Abel Fereira can count on a well-rehearsed unit. There are no significant departures. With Anderson Esiti and Miroslav Stoch two reinforcements could be pulled ashore. Finally, we find several contra arguments and would therefore take in the duel between PAOK Saloniki and Ajax Amsterdam distance from a tip on the home side.

There were tears and bewilderment on May 8, 2019, when Lucas Moura scored the 3-2 win for Spurs from Tottenham in stoppage time. A dream burst, for many players probably even a unique dream. The young savages of Erik ten Hag have thrilled beyond the country's borders. With technical finesse, youthful zest and no fear big names could be eliminated highly deserved. The culmination of this journey was denied Ajax!

Free soccer picks

For the new season, Ajax will certainly not change philosophy, but there will be new faces on the pitch. The two outstanding youngsters Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus Turin) and Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona) have said goodbye to Amsterdam and washed millions into the club treasury. To shoot this gap will be a big challenge - and maybe Ajax will lose a super talent in the coming days.

Donny van de Beek is again ensnared by Real Madrid and the youngster confirmed talks with the Spanish top club. On the side of the newcomers are again several youngsters and with Quincy Promes also a household name. A playful very strong team will continue to own Ajax.

At the league start ten Hag were already considerate of the game in Greece and looked after players like Noussair Mazraoui, Lasse Schöne or David Neres. The Champions League is the big goal and the Greeks should not be a stumbling block. In the duel PAOK Saloniki and Ajax Amsterdam only quotas of just over 1.20 are offered for the "to qualify"!
