Ajax vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Son to return with a bang for Spurs in Amsterdam

Having missed the 1-0 first leg defeat through suspension, Son Heung-min will be desperate to make an impact when Tottenham travel to Amsterdam to take on Ajax on Wednesday.

The South Korea international provided three of Spurs’ four goals in the quarter-final victory over Manchester City, and was sorely missed as they failed to score for the first time in 11 European matches this season last week.

With Harry Kane missing through injury, he is their best hope to open the scoring at 9/2 (5.50) with William Hill, and offers strong value at 11/8 (2.38) anytime odds considering his return of 20 goals in all competitions this campaign.

As the only player other than Kane and Son to hit double figures for Mauricio Pochettino’s men this season, Lucas Moura is probably the next most likely hero and can be backed at 19/10 (2.90) anytime odds.

Indeed, backup striker Fernando Llorente has only managed eight goals in all competitions, so may not hold too much appeal at 21/10 (3.10) despite scoring the goal that ultimately took them past City in the last round.

In contrast, Erik ten Hag’s team is full of potential danger men, and are the only side to have found the net in all 11 matches so far in this competition.

With 34 goals to his name in all competitions this campaign, Dusan Tadic is the 7/2 (4.50) favourite to break the deadlock, and priced at a slender 21/20 (2.05) to score for the 11th time in just eight home games.

Hakim Ziyech has either scored or assisted in four of the Gondenzonen’s five knockout stage fixtures so far, and is priced at 8/5 (2.60) to extend that productive record with a 21st goal in all competitions.

David Neres was on target in the last Champions League home game against Juventus, and is another likely goalscorer in an exciting Ajax team, available at 27/10 (3.70) anytime odds.
