Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. The first round of the Champions League round of 16 will usher in a dark horse battle. The Portuguese Super League Benfica will be at home to "wait" for the arrival of the Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax, and Ajax has recently won 10 consecutive victories. The dark horse Benfica had to be careful.

Benfica, who qualified from the group stage, has a very stable performance at home. The winning rate in the past 10 home games is as high as 70 %. In the 3 home games of the Champions League group stage, they only lost to the German leader Bayern Munich, sitting on the home field advantage. They are aiming to end Ajax's 10 -game winning streak.

Benfica has only won 1 win , 1 and 2 losses against Ajax in the past and is at a significant disadvantage. In this campaign, facing Ajax, who has won the group, Benfica may face a very high challenge to win. While Rodrigo Pinho and Verisimo are missing, Seferovic is still recovering from injuries, which affects Benfica's overall strength.

Ajax, who advanced with a complete victory, also has veterans Tadic and Heller in the striker position. Tadic has scored 7 goals and assisted 15 times before, while Heller also has 16 goals and 6 assists .

Although Ajax has achieved outstanding results in the league and cup competitions, his performance on the road has been unstable. He can only remain unbeaten in the last 13 away games, but he still has the opportunity to continue the momentum of the Champions League from this war.
