Marseille vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips (30 September)

Back in this Champions League this season, Olympique de Marseille was not spoiled by the draw with a very delicate trip to the victories record holder in competition: Real Madrid. Despite this, the Phocaeans displayed a beautiful face to Santiago Bernabeu, even going so far as to open the scoring. But the men of Roberto de Zerbi ultimately failed to keep their advantage and they even ended up losing at the end of the game, despite their numerical superiority, on a generous penalty in favor of the Merengue 2-1. That said, the Olympians still have a performance on which to rely before this 2nd day which is already decisive as to their ambitions in this competition. At the same time, on the national scene, the Marseillais offer good and less good so far. Large winners of a low Lorient team reduced to 10 4-0, they will face PSG and Strasbourg in the coming days. From its side, Ajax Amsterdam had not participated in the Champions League for 3 long years.

For her return to competition, she received Inter, vice reigning champion. Unfortunately for them, the Dutch people could not resist the Italians and they bowed on two favorites issued by Marcus Thuram 0-2. However, this defeat is not really dramatic for lancers who inherited a fairly favorable draw for this league phase where they can reasonably hope to finish in the top 24. In the league, the Ajacids are rather serious at the moment with in particular a good success obtained against Zwolle 3-1. Before going to the Vélodrome, Ajax will face the PSV Eidhoven on the go and it will receive the Nac Breda.

Victim of a lesion to a thigh, the offensive Hamed Junior Traoré is not guaranteed to be able to hold his place for this part. Ditto for Kondogbia, also absent from the last OM games after having made a very good performance at the Bernabeu. On the other hand, all the rest of the workforce should be on deck for this decisive poster. In the cages, the Rulli porter should be renewed with a defense where we should find the excellent recruits Aguerd (2 goals already in L1) and Pavard (1 goal). In the middle, Hojbjerg and Angel Gomes could be renewed. On the offensive level, players like Aubameyang, Greenwood (2 goals each), Gouiri and Peaceão will be expected at a better level than in Madrid where Weah had been able to find the fault.

 At Ajax, the midfielder passed by Toulouse Branco Van den Boomen, long -term injured, and the winger Berghuis (1 goal, 2 assists in the championship) should miss this trip. Defender replacing Brouwman, who was absent in front of Inter, could be restored to him. In the forefront, the Ajacids should rely on the solid striker Weghorst (3 goals and 1 pass in Eredivisie) which was quite discreet against the Inter during the 1st day. In the heart of the game, we also find the excellent Klaassen (2 goals and 1 go to Eredivisie), the interesting Taylor and Israeli hope Gloukh. The offensive sector is also made up of the young Belgian winger Godts (2 goals and 1 go to Eredivisie) and former Niçois Kasper Dolberg who returned to Ajax this summer after having revealed there a few years ago. 

• Summary: Olympique de Marseille U19 is going head to head with Ajax U19 starting on 30 Sept 2025 at 12:30 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
