Last season, Ajax reached the semi-final after knocking out teams like Real Madrid and Juventus. They only lost against Tottenham with away goals. Although some key players like Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt have left the team, Ajax still seems to continue its good form. They are leading both the Eredivisie and their Champions League group. While their chances are amazing in their domestic league, online gambling sites in the UK are more cautious about their UCL performances this year.

On the other side, Chelsea has started this season under the new manager, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard. He replaced Maurizio Sarri. The club was facing a ban in this transfer period, meaning they couldn’t sign any new player. Which hurts, especially because game master Eden Hazard has left the team for Real Madrid. Nevertheless, all these restrictions let Lampard rebuild the team, and give an opportunity to young English players at the club. For example to the likes of Tammy Abraham who already scored seven goals in the Premier League.
