Previous meetings • Ajax won 2-0 when the sides met for the first time in UEFA competition in the first leg. The average age of their squad on the night was just 22. • Schalke's nine games against Dutch sides have ended W3 D1 L5 (W3 D0 L0 at home). Encouragingly, all three of those home wins were by three-goal margins. • Ajax's 33 games against German sides have ended W21 D5 L7 (W6 D4 L6 in Germany). Those games include the final of the 1987 European Cup Winners' Cup in Athens, where they beat Leipzig 1-0. Form guide • Schalke are unbeaten in five European home games this season: three wins by two-goal margins in the group stage followed by two 1-1 draws in the knockout phase. • Ajax's record in seven European away games this season is W2 D3 L2. They have not won any of their most recent four on the road (D3 L1). • Schalke lost 6-4 on aggregate to Athletic Club in their most recent quarter-final, in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League. • Ajax have appeared in all eight UEFA Europa League campaigns – the only club to do so – but this is the first time they have reached the quarter-finals. In overcoming København 2-0 at home, they became the first Dutch club to win a UEFA Europa League knockout phase tie after losing the first leg. • Ajax have not reached a major European quarter-final since bowing out to AC Milan in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League, and last got to a semi-final in the 1996/97 edition of the same competition, succumbing to Juventus.
