Current Champions League Holders Real Madrid will face Ajax in their Champions League Round Of 16 first leg tie at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. Both teams have had a golden history in the tournament. Real Madrid has won the competition on 13 previous occasions which is the highest. On the other hand, Ajax has won the competition 4 times.
Real Madrid come into this match in good form as they beat Atletico Madrid last weekend in the LaLiga. After a torrid start to the season, the Spanish Giants have now found their feet. Santiago Solari’s men are currently on a 7-match unbeaten run. Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale would look to add to their goal tallies on Wednesday against Ajax.
Ajax come into the weekend having suffered a loss to Eredivisie side Heracles last time out. Ajax has suffered just one loss in their last 21 home matches in any European competition but have a miserable record against the champions Real Madrid. Dusan Tadic and Hakim Ziyech would look to cause a major upset to the Champions having scored 13 and 12 goals(in all competitions) respectively.
Expected Lineups:
Ajax:
Onana(GK), Mazraoui, Blind, De Ligt, Tagliafico, Schone, De Jong, Van de Beek, Neres, Tadic, Ziyech
Real Madrid:
