How is Besiktas coming along?
Besiktas, on the other hand, comes into this match with one win in their most recent five games, which has them in a very complicated situation in the Turkish league and almost eliminated from the Champions League (thinking somewhere in the Europa League).
How is Ajax coming along?
The Dutch side, leaders of the Eredivisie, are on a seven-game unbeaten streak in any competition and are also coming off a 5-0 win over Waalwijk in the local competition.

Last games
The only time they have met was on September 28 in the Netherlands, where the home team defeated the Turkish team by a score of 2-0. On that occasion, Steven Berghuis and Sébastien Haller scored the goals.
Key player Ajax
Part of Ajax's great season in both the Eredivisie and the Champions League is due to Dusan Tadic, who is undoubtedly the most talented player in the attacking front and who has contributed with several goals to add important victories in the second half of 2021.
Key player Besiktas
He comes from an inspired participation with the Canadian national team, so the expectations for what Cyle Larin can do in front of the attack are great for this campaign, although he has not responded with goals and should start to reflect the confidence placed in him on the field.
Last roster Ajax
32 Remko Pasveer, 21 Lisandro Martínez, 2 Jurriën Timber, 17 Daley Blind, 12 Noussair Mazraoui, 23 Steven Berghuis, 8 Ryan Gravenberch, 4 Edson Álvarez, 22 Sébastien Haller, 10 Dusan Tadic, 11 Antony.

Ajax: tie for the lead
One of the serious problems Ajax could have for this game would be themselves if they fall into overconfidence, knowing they are superior to their opponents and that they have first place in the group almost in their hands. They will have to score a goal in the first half so that the pressure does not haunt them in the second half, considering that they will face an opponent that has not even put their hands in.
Besiktas: thinking about Europa League
Although they have looked bad in the tournament and have accumulated four defeats, Besiktas still has a slim hope of finishing third in the group and for that they will have to start by winning this match, which they can take advantage of against Ajax, who are in perfect form and could make some changes to rest their players.
How is Group C of the Champions League going?
After four games, Ajax needs a point to secure first place in the group and a place in the next round, as it is the leader with 12 points, while Besiktas is in last place with zero points.
The Kick-off
The Besiktas vs Ajax match will be played at the Vodafone Park, in Istanbul, Turkey. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:45 pm ET.
