It's hard to trust Bayern Munich at prices for Ajax clash

Champions League Group E
BT Sport Extra, 8pm Wednesday

Ajax are unbeaten in Group E and can stay that way after taking on leaders Bayern Munich in Amsterdam.

The Dutch side have qualified for the last 16 for the first time since 2005-06 and have the chance to finish top of the group by beating Bayern.

They drew 1-1 with the Bundesliga champions in Munich in an evenly-matched contest – the shot count was 16 to 15 in Bayern’s favour – and there is every chance of another closely-fought tussle.

A point would be enough to keep Bayern at the summit and they approach the match following three successive victories.

However, Niko Kovac’s side are difficult to trust given their regression since last season.

They were red hot favourites to win the Bundesliga but have fallen nine points adrift of leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Recommendation
Ajax or draw double chance
