Michael Owen makes prediction for Chelsea v Ajax

Chelsea and Ajax head in Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge having both earned six points from their opening three matches in Group H. However, because of their narrow 1-0 success in Amsterdam, last month, the Premier League outfit holds the smallest of advantages over their Dutch rivals. Ahead of the game, Michael Owen is backing Chelsea to edge past Ajax. “Frank Lampard’s side have bounced back tremendously well in the Champions League when you consider they lost their opening game at home to Valencia and I think the Blues will edge what promises to be another terrific game between two inform, free-scoring sides,” Owen said. “Chelsea FC were 2-1 winners against Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic. The Blues are in fourth place in the table and six points ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal in the race to secure a place in next season’s Champions League.” Source- thesportreview
