The Sons of the Gods surprisingly stumbled at the start of the season. The team currently sits sixth in the league table with 20 points, eight points behind the league leaders from Rotterdam. Fans expected a higher level of play, especially at Johan Cruyff Arena. During the week, Ajax suffered a heavy home defeat against the Turkish Lions in the Champions League, losing 0-3, which led to the departure of the previous head coach. The upcoming match is crucial for the hosts, as the interim coach must restore the team’s fighting spirit.

The Eagles are also going through a challenging period. José Mourinho’s squad entered the Champions League as favorites. In the first round, the Eagles initially took the lead but ultimately fell 2-3 to the Highlanders. In the second round, they lost 1-0 to the Aristocrats. In the third round, the Portuguese side struggled again, suffering a 3-0 defeat to the Forty away, worsening their crisis. In the Portuguese league, Benfica sits third with 25 points, six points behind the Dragons.
