Ajax v Barcelona Tip

The Spanish giants have one foot in the knockout phase already, but without Messi they could have a tougher night than the bookies anticipate.

Barcelona may give defenders sleepless nights across the continent but they can also offer up hope for opposing attackers, particularly away from home. Ajax host the Catalans on Tuesday evening and at 8/1 (Betfred) Lasse Schone must surely represent value in the anytime goalscorer market.

The Danish international has already found the net home and away against Celtic in Group H, tormenting the Scots particularly at the Amsterdam Arena where he had six shots on goal by himself.

With Frank De Boer now confronted with a striker shortage for the visit of the La Liga champions, Schone could find himself deployed in a more advanced role than he traditionally occupies. At worst he should get 90 minutes to probe from midfield and at such long odds he’s well worth the investment.
