Ajax v Chelsea Team News

Erik ten Hag’s charges have by far, been the most dominant side in Group H, winning each of their two games so far and that too with very convincing score-lines. They have been on a roll, hammering the likes of Valencia and LOSC Lille as they strolled to the top of the standings. Impressively, they have registered three or more goals in both of these games.

The Jews are yet to concede a single goal so far in the competition, much to the delight of the media and fans alike. They seem like a team on a mission. Could it be to win the much-coveted UEFA Champions’ League title? Time will tell.

With home advantage and the reservoir of motivation they have on deck, thanks to their breath-taking performances so far, the Eredivisie giants definitely have the upper hand in this match.

They have remained in menacing form for quite some time now, having avoided a taste of defeat since the loss they experienced against Tottenham Spurs in the second leg of the semi-final of the previous edition of the Champions League. They have also maintained that unbeaten status in style.

Ten Hag and his men have turned the Johan Cryuff Arena into something of a fortress in recent weeks, keeping a seven-match winning streak intact while racking up four clean sheets in those games. Also, they have found goals really easy to come by on home turf, scoring two or more goals in each of their previous 15 games in all competitions.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have already lost to a pretty formidable team in Valencia in the competition, and that too at the Stamford Bridge. Manager Frank Lampard is still in the process of rebuilding and rejuvenating a team who just lost their maestro in Eden Hazard to Real Madrid. On top of that, they have been slapped with a transfer ban, barring them from signing any player.

The Blues have struggled defensively this season, failing to keep a single clean sheet in each of their last eleven games on the road. When it comes to head-to-head encounters, these two have only faced once in the 21^st century with the home side emerging victorious.
