Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag has confirmed Frankie De Jong is fit to play against Real Madrid having recovered from an injury. The Barcelona bound midfielder will have extra motivation playing against his future club’s arch-rivals. Daley Blind is another experienced player whose quality can come in handy if the home side are to prevail over Los Merengues. Striker Hassane Bande is out with a calf problem but they do have former Southampton man Dusan Tadic who has been a good signing so far. Ajax will need a bit of fortune if they are to move into the next round at the expense of Real Madrid.
Santiago Solari has finally settled down on his preferred starting eleven that includes youngster Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian footballer was the star of the show against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and the Ajax defence has to be wary of his frightening pace. There is no place for Marcelo in the team with Sergio Reguilon promoted. Isco and Marcos Llorente are missing for the visitors as they seek an early advantage in the tie. Real Madrid will be very difficult to stop with the kind of form they are in. An away win for the Los Blancos looks the most likely result.
