Chelsea Seeks Fourth Straight Win Against Struggling Ajax
22 Oct
Summary
- Chelsea on a three-game winning streak after slow start
- Ajax has just one win in last six games, under pressure
- Heitinga's side has been shipping goals regularly
On October 22nd, 2025, Chelsea will host Ajax in a crucial Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge. The home side is aiming to secure their fourth straight win in all competitions, having found some much-needed momentum after a slow start to the season.
Chelsea suffered losses to Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Brighton earlier in the campaign, but have since bounced back with three successive victories. The 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League kicked off the run, which has also included wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Enzo Maresca's team will be keen to keep this positive form going and will be confident of inflicting another defeat on the struggling Dutch giants.
Meanwhile, Jonny Heitinga has found life tough since taking charge at the Johan Cruyff Arena. The former Liverpool assistant has overseen consecutive defeats in the Champions League and is already under pressure, with Ajax sitting fourth in the Eredivisie after a 2-0 home loss to AZ Alkmaar last weekend. Shipping goals too regularly, the Dutch side will need a vastly improved performance to take anything from their trip to London.
