Ajax vs AEK Athens Champions League
Both teams want to start this phase of hens in the best way.
State of form
2nd Eredivisie last year, Ajax Amsterdam has in turn defeated the Austrians Sturm Graz, Belgians Standard Liege and Ukraine Dynamo Kiev to qualify for C1 this season. Authors of a good start to the championship, the Dutch are unbeaten for the moment and they remain on 2 successes in a row against Vitesse Arnhem (0-4) and Groningen last weekend (3-0).
Defeated in the round of 16 C3 by Dynamo Kiev in 2017/2018, AEK Athens was still crowned champion of Greece and dominated the Scots Celtic (3-2 on all 2 games) and the Hungarians from Videoton (3-2 in all 2 games) to reach the Champions League group stage this year. Already co-leaders of their championship with Olympiakos, the Greeks won during the first 3 days and they have just dominated the Panionios Athens last Saturday (4-0).
Membership for Ajax vs AEK Athens
Ajax’s strength is greatly diminished by the injuries of rookies Bande and El Azzouzi, long-time absentees Sinkgraven and Veltman, potential attacker Dolberg and substitute Cerny. The offensive quartet should be composed of Ziyech, Neres, Tadic and Huntelaar.
Offensively, AEK Athens rely on former LOSC and Roma striker Ezequiel Ponce (2 goals in 3 games), while behind the former ephemeral Barça player, Chygrynskiy, holds the house.
