This is the first ever meeting between the Dutch and French side. PSG started the 2014-15 campaign with 9 points out of a possible 15 in the French league. They've won both of their home matches, but weren't convincing in any of their 3 away matches so far (3 draws). Ajax on the other hand, lost the Johan Cruijff Shield prior to the season, started the Eredivisie with 2 wins, went on losing twice in a row and last saturday managed to pick up a 2-1 home win against lowly side Heracles. On loan player Milik scored both goals and Ajax coach Frank de Boer said he won't be starting against PSG. He rather has Sigthorsson in his starting eleven. A striker who has been around for a while now and is known to the way De Boer is playing, BUT... he's in such a poor form. Ajax were even trying to sell him during the summer window. His goal ratio explains it all really: he scored just once in his last 12 appearances (his last goal was from april), 4 goals in his last 30. PSG is without Thiago Silva in the heart of defense tonight, but do they really miss him when Sigthorsson needs thousands chances to score? Ajax biggest threat comes from the wing, with Lasse Schone being their most important player so far. But how many times do you think he'll get through with Ajax's midfield being so lightweight? They are sorely missing Daley Blind, who was the main man to cover the defense and will miss the experience of Christian Poulsen as well. Now they need to rely on guys like Viergever and Zimling (who just got with the team and only made his debut last saturday). The defense might be even worse at the moment. Central pair Moisander and Veltman are both struggling at the moment and Ajax didn't pick up one clean sheet so far this season. Already 8 goals conceded in the first month (while only conceding 28 in the entire 2013-14 season). We all know what Zlatan is capable of. PSG with or without him is such a big difference. Like a complete different team. He always scores his goals and I'm sure he'll be even more motivated since he'll face his former team (and the CL being his only missing trophy on the list). Ajax has a little streak going on in the Champions League: they weren't able to win their first group match since 2002 (5 losses, 2 draws). I think that trend will go on. Taking the PSG ML (1.70) and with the weak Ajax defense of late the -1.5 PSG goals handicap (2.67) seems worth taking as well.
