Chelsea vs Ajax, UEFA Champions League 2019-20: Match Preview
The Blues would be riding high on confidence having registered two away victories at Ajax and Lille. Another win against the Dutch side could potentially earn the Stamford Bridge’s youngsters the knock-out berth. However, the home performance has not been in par with their overall display of this season.
For Ajax, too, a victory could earn them a spot in the Round of 16. The Erik ten Hag-led side would be looking to cash in on Chelsea’s depleted home record against major teams this season. The Londoners had suffered defeat in their last home outing when Manchester United won 2-1 last week at the Bridge.
Meanwhile, with Valencia set to be the favourites against Lille in the other Group H fixture of the night, the losers at the Bridge could slip to the third position and be at a danger of a missed knock-out berth.
