We said: Ajax 3-1 Ludogorets Razgrad (Ajax to win 7-2 on aggregate)

Ludogorets will need to deploy an all-or-nothing approach as they aim to overturn the hefty deficit, but that will leave the visitors exposed at the back. We can see Ludogorets pulling a goal back in the second leg, but we expect the Dutch giants to outscore the Bulgarian champions once again, putting the tie out of reach. Read more.
