Both clubs are through to the last-16, although they’ll both want to win this one for different reasons. Ajax, for one, would love to round off their Group C campaign with six straight wins. Sebastien Haller will no doubt hope to add to his goal tally here as well, as he looks to steer clear of Robert Lewandowski in the goal charts.
As for Sporting, revenge is on the agenda. The Portuguese giants suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Ajax last out at home, and they would love to go even at Amsterdam.
