Match background

The top two in the embryonic Group E table come face to face in Germany as Bayern München welcome Ajax on matchday two. • While Bayern opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory at Benfica, Ajax marked their first game in the UEFA Champions League proper for four years in style, defeating AEK Athens 3-0 in Amsterdam to end the Greek side's 14- match unbeaten European run. Previous meetings • Two of European football's most famous names, this will be the clubs' ninth fixture – and home sides have traditionally held the upper hand. Of the eight previous contests, six have ended in a home victory, with the other two matches drawn. • The most recent encounters came in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League group stage, Bayern winning 4-0 in Munich – Dutch international striker Roy Makaay contributing a hat-trick – before a 2-2 draw in the Netherlands. • That, however, is Bayern's only success in the last five matches between the pair; Ajax have won two in that sequence, most recently a 5-2 semi-final second leg success in their victorious 1994/95 UEFA Champions League campaign. Form guide Bayern • Champions of Germany for a record 28th time last season – with a landmark sixth successive title – Bayern are in the group stage for the 22nd time. • The Munich club have reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals or better in each of the last seven seasons. They last failed to progress from the initial group section in 2002/03, although they missed out altogether on the UEFA Champions League in 2007/08. • For the second year in a row Bayern's campaign was ended by Real Madrid in 2017/18, via a 4-3 aggregate semi- final defeat. • Bayern won their first four home games in 2017/18, before drawing with Sevilla in the quarter-final second leg and losing to Real Madrid in the semi-final first leg. • The Madrid defeat was Bayern's first European home loss since going down to the same opponents in the 2016/17 semi-finals – which ended Bayern's UEFA Champions League record of 16 successive home victories. • Bayern have never lost at home to a Dutch club and won their last four matches in Munich, most recently beating PSV Eindhoven 4-1 in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League group stage. Ajax are the last visitors to leave Munich undefeated, with a goalless draw in that 1994/95 semi-final – one of only two occasions in ten home games against Dutch clubs where Bayern have failed to emerge victorious. Ajax • Second in the Eredivisie last season, Ajax are in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 14th time, but the first since 2014/15. Then their campaign ended in the group stage, for the fifth year in a row; they finished third on each occasion and have not progressed from their section since 2005/06. • Ajax's 2017/18 European campaign lasted only two ties, losing to Nice in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round before a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Rosenborg (0-1 home, 2-3 away) that extended their winless run in continental competition to six matches (D2 L4). • However, Ajax are unbeaten in Europe in 2018/19, beating Sturm Graz home (2-0) and away (3-1) in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round and Standard Liège 5-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round (2-2 away, 3-0 home) before overcoming Dynamo Kyiv 3-1 in the play-offs (3-1 home, 0-0 away) and then defeating AEK on matchday one. • The 3-1 win at Sturm ended Ajax's eight-match run without a European away win (D4 L4); they have drawn both away games since. • Ajax have lost their last two away games in the UEFA Champions League proper, and have not won away in the group stage since a 2-0 success at Dinamo Zagreb in October 2011; their subsequent record is D4 L6. • The Amsterdammers have lost on four of their last five trips to Germany although the most recent, a 3-2 defeat at Schalke in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg, completed a 4-3 aggregate success. Links and trivia • Ajax coach Erik ten Hag was coach of Bayern's B team between 2013 and 2014, winning the in
