Two prestigious power houses of football take on each other in a Champions league clash. Though one of these is still a European power house, but the other now is just seen as a youth development side.

Barcelona who are struggling with some defensive trouble, where exposed by a brilliant PSG who scored thrice passed them. The Spanish side who sit second in the table see this game as a important fixture and will obviously want all three points.

Ajax on the other side are just a youth team, managed by a fantastic manager - Frank De Boar. Ajax who have been a part of this group for last two seasons, will again find it very tough to qualify ahead of PSG and Barcelona who are expected to make the next stage of Champions league with ease.

The Ajax manager was quoted saying "learning experience” for his players. The Dutch team unlike many other minnows won't be parking the bus for a result. They are expected to play a open brand of football, or as they say it in their country 'Total Football'.


Player to watch out for: Neymar

The Brazilian has been in song, goals have come in a regular interval for him this season.




Probable Line Ups:

Barcelona:
Ter Stegen; Alves, Mathieu, Piqué, Alba; Mascherano, Roberto, Xavi; Pedro, Messi, Neymar.

Ajax:
Cillessen; Van Rhijn, Veltman, Moisander, Viergever; Klaassen, Zimling, Andersen; Schöne, Sigthórsson, El Ghazi.

TFM Predicts: Barcelona 4-0 Ajax
