Ajax knocked out Real Madrid majestically from the Champions League in the Round of 16 and this week they face another powerhouse in the form of Juventus.
Everyone is putting their bets on the Turin based outfit to go through to the semis but then no one really gave Ajax a shot vs Real Madrid and the Eredivisie side ended up producing one of the best performances in this year’s Champions League.
So don’t be too shocked if the Dutch side manage to pull off yet another miracle during this fairytale run of theirs.
Ajax vs Juventus team news:
Juventus:
Max Allegri is confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will return to the starting line-up after the player picked up an injury while on international duty for Portugal.
Emre Can was taken off during Juventus’ clash vs AC Milan this past weekend and he is expected to miss the Ajax vs Juventus clash on Tuesday.
Alex Sandro will return back to the squad after serving a suspension against Atletico.
Ajax:
Noussair Mazraoui is suspended for the Ajax vs Juventus clash which means Rasmus Kristensen will get his first start in the Champions League.
Apart from Noussair, no big name is expected to miss this high-profile clash so we are going to see a side very similar to the one named against Real Madrid during the Round of 16 clash.

Ajax possible starting XI:
Onana; Kristensen, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; De Beek, De Jong, Schone; Ziyech, Tadic, Neres.
