Manchester City’s Champions Leagues hopes hang in the balance after just two matches and victory is a must when they take on Ajax on Wednesday.

A heart-breaking loss to Real Madrid and a fortunate draw against Borussia Dortmund mean the Citizens have just one point so far in Group D. Ajax, however, are even worse off and their winless form is currently propping up City.

 

Match Odds

Ajax 15/4
Draw 11/4
Man City 8/11

 

The Dutch representatives go into Wednesday’s match without a win in three, recording two draws in their previous two domestic fixtures, and unsurprisingly the bookies have them down as the outsiders.

City in comparison have won three of their last four and due to the necessity of three points Roberto Mancini’s team are worth backing for the win even at odds-on.

If you are looking for more value then the Sky Blues are also fancied to cover the -1 handicap at 15/8. Real Madrid beat Ajax 4-1 in Holland in the previous round of Champions League fixtures and City have more than enough fire power to rack up a similar scoreline, especially as goal difference could likely come into play in Group D.

Edin Dzeko is the man in form for the Premier League champions, with two goals against West Brom on the weekend, and the Bosnian international is a prime suspect to help City achieve a comfortable win. He is backed at 9/5 to continue his good run and score anytime.
