The deciding game between Juventus and Ajax will start in about an hour. What is your prediction? Here are the two squads:
Juventus: Szczesny; De Sciglio, Rugani, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Can, Pjanic, Matuidi; Bernardeschi, Ronaldo, Dybala
Ajax: Onana; Veltman, De Ligt, Blind, Mazraoui; Schöne, De Jong, Van de Beek; Ziyech, Tadic, Neres
There was uncertainty about Frenkie De Jong, who was substituted
out of precaution during his most recent game on Saturday. However, he apparently is good enough to start today. Tagliafico is suspended due to his yellow card last week. On the other hand Mazraoui is back from his suspension. Mazraoui will play on the left side, Tagliafico's regular position, and Veltman will play on the right side.
If Juventus wins, it'll be the third semifinal for the Italians this decade, which last happened in the 1990s. For Ajax it would mean the first semifinal since 1996/1997. Since the last game ended in 1 - 1, Ajax will need to score at least 1 time to have a shot at the next round. Statistics are in favor of at least one goal, since Ajax has scored in every single Champions League game so far this season. Ajax also has not lost a single away-game so far during the CL season. According to (Whoscored statistics), no team except Real Madrid has been better in away games this season than Ajax. A statistic in which Juventus is significantly better is aerial duels won, which could give them a bigger chance in situations like corners and free kicks.
