Date/Time: Wednesday 22nd August 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)
On Wednesday night, Ajax host Dynamo Kiev at the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Champions League play-off round first leg.
Ajax defeated Standard Liege 5-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round to make it to this stage of the competition. Meanwhile, Dynamo Kiev recorded a rather more narrow 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague in the last round.
Ajax are now six games unbeaten in the Champions League, having recorded three wins and three draws in the competition. A key to the Dutch side’s recent victories has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least twice in the last five games in Europe’s elite competition.
The Dutch side are also unbeaten in five outings on home soil in the Champions League, recording two wins and three draws.
