As for Juventus, they are on the verge of an eighth consecutive league title following Napoli’s 1-1 draw against Genoa at the weekend. Juve warmed up for Wednesday’s midweek clash with a 2-1 victory over AC Milan. Substitute Moise Kean came on and made an immediate impact scoring with ten minutes to play. The teenager has had an impressive run in the side in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is battling to be fit for the contest. 

Juve also pulled off a comeback of their own in the round of sixteen, overhauling a 2-0 first leg deficit to progress 3-2 on aggregate. Cristiano Ronaldo was predictably the star for Juventus, bagging a hat-trick in the second leg to emphatically put his side into the quarter-finals. Surprisingly, Juventus have lost their last two games away in the Champions League and Max Allegri will look to set his side up not to lose ahead of the second leg at Juventus stadium. 

In team news, all eyes are on Cristiano Ronaldo who has not played for Juventus since picking up an injury on international duty. However, indications suggest that the 34-year old has recovered from the hamstring injury. Juve will also be without captain Giorgio Chiellini who is out injured.  Sami Khedira returned to first-team action at the weekend after a heart issue, although expect the German midfielder to start on the bench. 

Juventus  Predicted Team
Szczesny; Rugani, Bonucci, Barzagli; Joao Cancelo, Pjanic, Matuidi, Spinazzola; Bernadeschi, Ronaldo, Mandzukic. 

It certainly promises to be a fascinating contest as Ajax will look to get the better of Juventus. Follow all the action Live & Exclusive on beIN CONNECT.
