Ajax vs Benfica Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Ajax faced Benfica in the League Stage of the Champions League on November 25. The match concluded with Benfica defeating Ajax 0-2.

Samuel Dahl scored the first goal of the game on the 6th minute of the match, putting Benfica in front. This was followed by a goal from Leandro Barreiro, concluding at 0-2.

As Ajax and Benfica are set to clash again, the memory of Ajax's 0-1 win in their Champions League 1/8 Final encounter from 4 years ago still lingers. Ajax's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Excelsior, Utrecht and Galatasaray, unable to secure a win in their last four games. If they aim to regain control of matches, defensive adjustments will be necessary, given that their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in fourteen consecutive matches.

After their recent win against Atletico CP, Benfica, on the other hand, approach this match with renewed confidence.

This UEFA Champions League match offers a platform for Ajax and Benfica’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Ajax’s Mika Godts and top finisher Wout Weghorst have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Fred Grim, remains effective. Weghorst leads Ajax’s scoring charts in UEFA Champions League this season with one goal, while also excelling as their primary creator, registering zero assists in the competition so far. Ajax’s offense has also been strengthened by Oscar Gloukh, Kenneth Taylor and Davy Klaassen, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, the attacking efforts of Benfica, under Jose Mourinho’s management, have been driven by Vangelis Pavlidis, the team’s primary goal threat, and Fredrik Aursnes, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. Pavlidis has already scored one goal in UEFA Champions League this season, with Sudakov topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Supporting them are Franjo Ivanovic, Andreas Schjelderup and Leandro Barreiro, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Benfica’s attack.
