AFC Ajax vs Nice Predictions & Match Preview 02/07/2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
2-2
Last term's Europa League finalists Ajax were not able to get the better of Ligue 1 third-finishing Nice as they played a 1-1 first leg draw at Allianz Riviera with plenty of chances went begging to be scored for the Dutch side, which pushes them for a home success.
Their tie opponents French 3rd-placed Nice managed to open the scoring in a 32-minute effort when Mario Balotelli squeezed all from his chance to get on the scoresheet first before being substituted in the 70th minute - and is believed to have suffered a knee injury that will keep him out heading into decisive second leg - by Alessane Plea, who is set to take the forward role.
More fears as Nice will have to progress to the play-off finals from the away match in Amsterdam, where the home club could hardly play a draw to the visiting sides, averaging an 87.5% win rate - a decent home record 21 wins, 2 draws and a defeat of last season including European involvement.
In this respect, Ajax will be able to pile even more pressure on the Nice side who once felt what it is like to play a young Ajax side on the upswing last week, and it's most likely that the Amsterdam club are by far the better side to get through defence and put some balls in as Nice will be seeking their turn on the break.
