#2 Ajax Amsterdam
The Dutch side are on course for a fantastic treble, if they can maintain their current momentum in all competitions. Erik ten Hag has brilliantly set up his young team to be both sparkling and ruthless with equal efficiency and the results have been speaking for themselves.
Ajax are already in the final of the KNVB Cup, where they shall face Willem II in May. The two sides have already met twice in the League and Ajax have won both games, including this past weekend's 4-1 away win. After scoring 17 goals in 5 games in the tournament, ten Hag's men are favorites to lift the Cup.
In the league, competition is a bit tighter. Ajax are currently at the top of the table, but only by virtue of a better goal difference. PSV Eindhoven and Ajax are tied on 71 points from 29 games, but Ajax have a goal difference of +74 compared to PSV's +65. Interestingly, Ajax have scored 100 goals in 29 games in the league. With just 5 games left till the end of the season, this one could go down to the wire, but Ajax will be favorites to claim the prize.
In the Champions League though, the Dutch side are the underdogs going into the quarter-finals. They face a prudent Juventus side, who have Ronaldo returning from injury. But as they had shown against Real Madrid, Ajax are no pushovers, so this tie could be more balanced than would appear to the normal eye.
Ajax have already won the treble once, in the 71/72 season, and they could very well repeat the feat this season.
