Match Preview
The Champions League clash on 25 November 2025 pits Ajax against SL Benfica at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Both clubs arrive with contrasting domestic form – Ajax have managed just one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches, scoring six goals while leaking 13, an average of 1.2 goals for and 2.6 against.
Benfica, by contrast, sit on three wins, one draw and a single loss, with 13 goals scored and only three conceded, averaging 2.6 for and 0.6 against.
Historically the tie is finely balanced: five meetings have produced one Ajax win, two Benfica victories and two draws, with a total of nine goals (4‑5).
Recent head‑to‑heads show Benfica edging Ajax in three of the last five encounters, including a 1‑0 win in 2022.
The match therefore carries high stakes – a chance for Ajax to halt a defensive slide and for Benfica to extend their recent superiority.
Both sides will be keen to translate their statistical edge into points as the group stage tightens.

Recent Form
Ajax:
Ajax’s recent five‑match run reveals a volatile home and away mix.
On 9 November they travelled to Utrecht and eked out a 2‑1 win, with Didden and Haller delivering early strikes before Godts pulled one back.
A week earlier, Ajax hosted Galatasaray in the Champions League and were outclassed 0‑3, failing to find the net.
On 1 November they drew 1‑1 with Heerenveen at home, Godts scoring first and Sejk equalising.
The 26 October away fixture at Enschede ended in a 2‑3 loss despite Godts scoring late, while the 22 October trip to Chelsea produced a convincing 5‑1 victory with six different scorers.
Across these games Ajax have recorded one win, one draw and three defeats, scoring six goals and conceding 13 – an average of 1.2 per game for and 2.6 against.
The data points to an attacking spark in the Chelsea win but a porous defence that concedes late, especially away from home.

SL Benfica:
Benfica’s last five outings show a team capable of high‑scoring home displays but vulnerable on the road.
On 9 November they drew 2‑2 with Casa Pia at Estádio da Luz, with Sudakov opening and Pavlidis adding a penalty before an own goal and a late strike by Nhaga forced the stalemate.
A day later they suffered a 0‑1 home defeat to Leverkusen in the Champions League, conceding only a single Schick goal.
On 1 November they were beaten 0‑3 away at Guimaráes, with Aráujo, Dahl and Rego finding the net.
Conversely, Benfica produced dominant home wins against Tondela (3‑0 on 29 October) and Arouca (5‑0 on 25 October), with Pavlidis scoring four penalties and open‑play goals and Otamendi adding two.
Overall the side has three wins, one draw and one loss, 13 goals scored and just three conceded, averaging 2.6 for and 0.6 against.
The figures illustrate a potent attack, particularly at home, and a solid defence that tightens when playing on familiar ground.

Statistical Insights
Ajax have struggled defensively, conceding 13 goals in five matches (2.6 per game) while only finding the net six times (1.2 per game).
Their lone high‑scoring display came against Chelsea (5‑1), yet three of the five games ended in defeat, highlighting inconsistency.
Benfica, by contrast, boast a robust defensive record of three goals conceded across five fixtures (0.6 per game) and an attacking output of 13 goals (2.6 per game).
Their home form is especially strong, with four clean sheets in the last five, whereas away they have been less effective, losing 0‑3 at Guimarães and 0‑1 at Leverkusen.
Goal timing shows Ajax often score early (minutes 18‑54) but concede late, as seen in the Enschede loss where the decisive goal arrived in the 64th minute.
Benfica’s penalties (four in the Arouca game) inflate their average, but they still maintain a high conversion rate.
The numbers suggest Benfica hold a statistical edge in both attack and defence, particularly on home soil, while Ajax must tighten at the back and capitalize on early chances.

Upcoming Fixtures
After the 25 November clash, Ajax return to domestic duty on 22 November against Excelsior in the Eredivisie, a match that could serve as a confidence builder if they secure a win following the Champions League test.
Their next European fixture is the same Benfica game, so the outcome will directly influence their morale for the Excelsior tie.
On 30 November they face Groningen at home, another league challenge.
Benfica’s schedule sees them travel to face Atletico CP on 21 November in the Taça de Portugal, a game that offers a chance to regain form after the Champions League loss to Ajax.
They then host Ajax on 25 November before heading to Nacional on 29 November for a league encounter.
The results in these fixtures will shape both clubs’ momentum in their respective domestic campaigns and influence squad rotation decisions for the final group games.

Match Prediction
Considering Ajax’s defensive frailties (2.6 goals conceded per match) and Benfica’s disciplined backline (0.6 conceded), the odds tilt towards a low‑scoring affair.
Ajax have struggled to score consistently, averaging just over a goal per game, while Benfica have found the net at least two per match on average.
A realistic prediction is a 1‑2 victory for Benfica, with the Portuguese side likely to break the deadlock via a penalty or a set‑piece, reflecting their recent reliance on spot‑kicks.
Ajax may scrape a goal through a quick opening move, but their inability to keep clean sheets could prove costly.
The forecast aligns with the recent head‑to‑head trend where Benfica have edged Ajax in three of the last five meetings.

Betting Insights
Betting markets should reflect Benfica’s statistical superiority.
The over/under line of 2.5 goals appears attractive; given Ajax’s 2.6 goals‑against average and Benfica’s 2.6 goals‑for rate, an over 2.5 outcome has a solid probability.
Both teams to score (BTTS) also seems likely, as Ajax have scored in four of their last five matches and Benfica have found the net in all but one.
A correct score of 1‑2 for Benfica offers good value, especially if odds are above 10.0.
For a double‑chance, betting on Benfica win or draw provides a safety net against a potential Ajax surprise.
Considering the penalty trend for Benfica, a bet on “anytime penalty” could be worthwhile, though it carries higher risk.
Overall, the data suggest backing Benfica to win and the match to go over 2.5 goals.
