Real Madrid v Ajax Team News

Following a hard-fought 2-1 first-leg victory in Amsterdam, Real Madrid have further been rocked with three home defeats - two at the hands of Barca against whom Real completely failed to fire, and one down to Girona - yet they did win once when narrowly edging out Levante 2-1 away from home.

Ajax should be well rested for the trip to Madrid having not played at the weekend and are likely to name the same side that earned a convincing win over rivals Feyenoord in the cup last week.

The Dutch side put in a valiant display in the first leg and were unlucky to lose, yet they now remain without a win in their last seven CL knockout fixtures (D2, L5). They will take heart from their performance there and won't be scared to impose themselves on the reigning champions given that they must score at least twice at the Bernabeu.

Ajax have won just four of their previous 13 matches against Madrid (W4, D1, L8), embarking on a seven-game winning streak against Ajax so far, and they’re pushing to add to that in this one.

Teams' Potential Starting Line-ups:

Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Reguilon, Varane, Nacho, Carvajal; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Junior, Benzema, Asensio.

Ajax (4-3-3): Onana; Tagliafico, Blind, Ligt, Mazraoui; Schone, Jong, Beek; Neres, Tadic, Ziyech.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos, Marcos Llorente.

Ajax: Carel Eiting, Lisandro Magallan.
