Juventus at Ajax 4/10/19 - Champions League Picks & Predictions

Two teams that pulled massive feats in the previous round of the Champions League will now meet in the quarter-finals, when Dutch side Ajax will host Juventus on Wednesday. Ajax did a stunning job in Madrid when they humiliated Real Madrid, while Juventus were carried to the next phase by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ajax did the unthinkable in the round of 16 against a huge team like Real Madrid. Things looked really bad when they lost by 2-0 at home in the first leg, but Ajax went on to destroy Real Madrid by a whopping 4-1 in Madrid and pulled through. Ajax have a solid W8 L4 record in this stage but all that success has come many decades ago. They also have a W5 L7 record in two-legged ties against Italian opposition. Juventus also had a mountain to climb in the previous round, where they clashed against Atletico Madrid. The Italian side lost by 0-2 on the road in the first leg and had a tough job against a defensive side like that. But Cristiano Ronaldo scored an insane hat-trick to send his new team to the quarter-finals. Juventus have been great against Dutch sides in two-legged ties (W3 L1) and are also undefeated in the last six such matches (4-0-2).
