Ajax Amsterdam team was quite helpless in their first Champions
League match against Barcelona. They were cut open time and time again.
Since and including 2011 Ajax are 2-1-3 at home in all Champions League
matches. This Ajax edition looks to be ever so slightly off the pace
compared to the team they’ve had the last couple of seasons. For Ajax
Bojan Krkic (Attacking midfielder) is out.
AC Milan on the other hand beat Celtic with a weakened
first eleven in their first Champions League match of the season. Since
and including 2011 Milan is 2-5-4 away from home in all Champions
League matches. De Sciglio (Defender), El Shaarawy (Attacker) and Kaka
(Attacking midfielder) are all out still. Influential midfielder
Montolivo is in the squad and is expected to play.
Possible lineups:
- Ajax Amsterdam: Vermeer; Van Rhijn, Moisander, Denswil, Blind; De Jong, Poulsen; Sereno, Bojan, Fischer; Sigthorsson.
- AC Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Zapata, Constant; Birsa, Poli, De Jong; Niang, Matri, Balotelli.
