CHE vs AJA Dream11 Match Prediction: Michy Batshuayi’s late winner in Amsterdam earned Chelsea the vital three points as they top Group H with six points on board.
Ajax, on the other end, is on level terms in terms of points with Chelsea and would be keen on redemption as they take a trip down Stamford Bridge. Victory for either team will solidify the chances of qualification to the next round.

Chelsea Team News
Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains the only long term absentee for Frank Lampard. Ross, Barkley, Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante and Andreas Christensen have returned to training recently and could have a say against Ajax. Christian Pulisic’s recent form suggests that he might get the nod ahead of Callum Hudson-Odoi. There could be a toss-up at the left-back position now that Emerson has returned to fitness.
Ajax Team News
Lisandro Martinez is unlikely to make it to the teamsheet after being subbed off due to a knock before half-time in Ajax’s 4-2 win over PEC Zwolle. Edison Alvarez came in place of Martinez but unfortunately had to come off as well due to an injury and is in doubt against Chelsea. In the absence of Alvarez and Martinez 17-year-old Ryan Gravenbech is an option. Sergio Dest could return to the teamsheet after being given a rest.
Predicted Lineups
Chelsea- Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Alonso; Jorginho, Kovacic; Willian, Mount, Pulisic; Abraham.
Ajax- Onana; Mazraoui, Veltman, Blind, Tagliafico; Van de Beek, Martinez; Neres, Ziyech, Promes; Tadic.
Top Picks
Christian Pulisic is currently the man in form for the Blues and will be expected to cause a few problems to the Ajax defence. The USA international with four goals and three assists has directly been involved in seven goals in the last seven games for Chelsea.
Quincy Promes can prove to be a handful in attack for the Dutch giants. Erik ten Hag has loads of quality going forward, but Promes’ recent brace against Zwolle will lift his confidence for the big game against Chelsea. Promes has registered 10 goals and two assists in 15 appearances so far this season.
Win Prediction
Both sides have exciting youth prospects with ample quality in the locker. Though Chelsea snuck a 1-0 win in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, Ajax will be more organized in defence and should hit back with pace. However, with that being said, an entertaining draw is what can be expected out of this.
