Ajax vs Benfica: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off, team news for Champions League match

AJAX return to Champions League action TONIGHT as they hope to overcome Benfica and progress to the last eight of the competition.

The Dutch outfit were unfortunate not to be heading into this encounter with an one-goal advantage having played so well in Portugal.

Benfica forward Yaremechuk equalised late on resulting in the first leg ending with a 2-2 score-line.

However, playing at home for the second encounter put Ajax as the favourites to progress.

Especially with red-hot striker Sebastian Haller in their ranks who only scored one less than top scorer Robert Lewandowski in the Champions League this campaign.

However, the Ivorian did score an own goal in the reverse fixture, so he’ll be hoping to put that right again tonight.
