Leandro Kappel expects a spectacular Ajax victory over Besiktas on Tuesday. The attacker of Turkish PhD student Altay was good for a goal and an assist against the reigning champions on Friday evening, who suffered a 2-1 defeat. Kappel sees Ajax win with even greater numbers and even draws a comparison with the 9-0 victory of the team from Amsterdam against SC Cambuur nine days ago.

Yes, I think it will be a match like that. You cannot arrive in Amsterdam with this team where they played against us. I think they’re going to collapse and start spying on the counter. Maybe it will be difficult for Ajax to go through with that. Once they score the first goal, it becomes a monster score.”

The Amsterdammer believes that Besiktas will have a hard time in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, mainly because of the full sick bay. “It is not a weak team. But they miss a lot of those starting eleven. They are missing 13 players. If you have that many injured, well… And the newcomers won’t be fit too.” According to the attacker, Kara Kartallar enough weak spots that Ajax can take advantage of. “I find their defense quite slow, the two central defenders (Serdar Saatci and Atiba Hutchinson, ed.). There they can become dangerous with fast men. I didn’t find anything special either. That will just be three easy points for Ajax.”
