Ajax have been in exceptional form this year and have registered seven consecutive victories in all competitions over the past weeks.
The likes of Dusan Tadic and David Neres have stepped up for the Dutch giants and will have to play pivotal roles in this game.
AS Roma are missing several key players going into this game and will need to dig deep into their squad to trouble their opponents. We are backing an Ajax win for this one.
