Ajax and Inter Milan face each other this Wednesday (17th) at 4 PM (Brasília time) in the first round of the league phase of the Champions League. The match takes place at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The match will be exclusively broadcast by HBO Max (streaming service).
Ajax debuts in the Champions League amid a consistent start to the season. Johnny Heitinga's team is unbeaten in the Dutch Championship — three wins and two draws — and occupies third place in the Eredivisie.
The European challenge, however, brings the need to break an uncomfortable recent streak: in the last five editions, the Dutch have fallen in the group stage on four occasions. At home, the record is positive this semester, with a 100% success rate.
For the match, Ajax will be without Van den Boomen, who remains out due to back pain.
Inter begins its journey in the continental tournament still under pressure. Finalists of the last edition, the Nerazzurri seek to bounce back after the heavy defeat to PSG in the final and a poor start in Serie A: two consecutive losses, including a 4-3 comeback by Juventus.
Now led by Romanian Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi, the team relies on defensive solidity with Akanji, Bastoni, and Acerbi, as well as the offensive duo of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram. The team arrives complete for the debut, with no confirmed absences.
Ajax and Inter have faced each other five times in official competitions. The Italians have the advantage with three wins, against one for Ajax and one draw. Playing in Amsterdam, there were two matches, with one win for Inter and one draw. In Milan, Inter won both matches. The last meeting in the Champions League was in 2006, when Stankovic scored the winning goal for the Nerazzurri, 1-0.
