AJAX
Ten Haag’s side will be hoping to replicate the same form that handed them a Semi Final ticket in the 2018/19 season. Having earned 7wins in the last 7 home games in all competitions, Ajax will head into this tie high on confidence.
In fact, their morale will be bolstered by their goal scoring form which has earned them at least 3 goals in the last 7 and their defensive prowess which has seen them concede just twice in the last 7 at home.
Furthermore, Ajax have won all 3 of their home games in the Champions League. They will be looking to win four in a row on home soil for the first time since 96 when they won 7 under Luis Van Gaal.

BENFICA
They are also on a 7 game unbeaten streak with 4 wins and 3 draws. Unlike Ajax, Benfica haven’t had so much success in the Champions League. In fact, they haven’t made it past the last 16 stage since 2015/16 season when they beat Zenit 3-1 on aggregate.
Against Dutch opponents, Benfica have also struggled away from home, picking up just one win in their last 10- a 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in 2013/14 Europa League. This poor record on away turf makes this a difficult task for Benfica.
