AEK Athens and Ajax both need a win but for very different reasons when they meet in Greece in the penultimate round of Group E fixtures. • While unbeaten Ajax sit second in the standings, their 3-0 matchday one win against the Greek side – achieved thanks to second-half goals from Nicolás Tagliafico (2) and Donny van de Beek – was the first of four defeats for AEK, who can no longer finish in the top two. • Ajax, who hold a four-point advantage over third-placed Benfica, will be through to the round of 16 for the first time in 13 years with a victory or if Benfica fail to win away to section leaders Bayern München. AEK can still overtake Benfica but need to get to within three points of the Portuguese club before they face off in Lisbon on matchday six. Previous meetings • The sides' only fixtures before this season came in the group stage of Ajax's victorious 1994/95 UEFA Champions League campaign. The Dutch side won both fixtures, recording a 2-1 away victory in September 1994 and a 2-0 win in Amsterdam in December. • Edwin van der Sar and Marc Overmars – now Ajax's general director and director of player affairs respectively – played in both games. Danny Blind, father of Daley, was the Ajax captain for both matches. Form guide AEK • After being beaten at Ajax, AEK went down 2-3 at home to Benfica on matchday two before home and away defeats by Bayern, both 0-2. The current four-match losing streak is AEK's longest run of defeats in Europe since autumn 2011, when they suffered five straight reverses. • The Athens clubs have won only one of their last eight home European fixtures (D5 L2). • AEK were 14 European games unbeaten (W4 D10), home and away, before the loss at Ajax. • This is AEK's fifth UEFA Champions League group campaign, and all have ended at this stage. Their last appearance came in 2006/07, when they were unbeaten at home, picking up seven points in Athens and beating LOSC Lille and eventual champions AC Milan 1-0. • AEK have lost seven of their nine matches against Dutch clubs, winning one and drawing one; matchday one was their third successive defeat, all without scoring. At home their record is W1 D1 L2. • Greek champions for the 12th time in 2017/18 – their first championship success since 1994 – AEK entered this season's UEFA Champions League in the third qualifying round, where they defeated Celtic 3-2 on aggregate (1-1 away, 2-1 home) to reach the play-offs. There they overcame Hungarian club Vidi 3-2 over two games (2-1 away, 1-1 home). • The home win against Celtic ended AEK's run of eight successive draws in European competition. • Last season AEK lost to CSKA Moskva in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and moved into the UEFA Europa League, where they were ultimately eliminated by Dynamo Kyiv in the round of 32 despite avoiding defeat in all ten of their matches in the competition (W2 D8). Ajax • After beating AEK in Amsterdam, Ajax produced another creditable performance on matchday two to earn a 1-1 draw at Bayern. They then took four points off Benfica thanks to a 1-0 home success and 1-1 away draw. • Second in the 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 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 – a run of ten matches. Before the group stage they beat Sturm Graz home (2-0) and away (3-1) in the 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). • The 3-1 win at Sturm ended Ajax's eight-match run without a European away win (D4 L4); they have drawn all four away games since. • Ajax have not won away in the UEFA Champions League group stage since a 2-0 success at Dinamo Zagreb in October 2011; their subsequent record is D6 L6.

The Amsterdamers have won their last two games in Greece. Links and trivia • Current AEK coach Marinos Ouzounidis was in the Panathinaikos side that won 1-0 at Ajax in the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.

• Started out in the youth ranks of home-town club Ethnikos Alexandroupolis, a year at Apollon Kalamaria preceding a move to Xanthi aged 19. There Ouzounidis carved a reputation as a centre-back with an eye for goal – 16 in 140 matches – earning a 1992 move to Panathinaikos. • Won two league titles and three Greek Cups over five successful years with the Greens, and was the cornerstone of the defence that reached the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, before a two-year stint in France at Le Havre. • Returned to Greece in 1999 for two seasons with Paniliakos, switching to APOEL in 2001. The Cypriot league title followed 12 months later, Ouzounidis deciding to hang up his boots in 2003 aged 34 having won 50 caps for the Greece national team. • Moved into coaching almost immediately, once again kicking off his career in his native Alexandroupoli at lower- league Kappadokes. He got his first job as head coach in 2006 at APOEL, leading them to the Cypriot league title in his first season. • Took over at AEL Larissa for two years from 2008 and, after spells at Iraklis, Xanthi, Platanias and Ergotelis, landed the Panionios job in December 2014. Positive results added to his growing coaching reputation, paving the way for Ouzounidis to take over Panathinaikos in December 2016.

Ten Hag moved on to single-season stays at both RKC Waalwijk and Utrecht, and then returned to Twente again in 1996, this time for good. • Reached the last 16 of the 1997/98 UEFA Cup, losing to Auxerre, and in 2001 he won his only silverware with the club, Fred Rutten's team beating PSV Eindhoven on penalties in the Dutch Cup final with Ten Hag as captain. • After ending his playing career in 2002 he became head of Twente's youth department, also working as assistant coach for several years, alongside Rutten from 2006/07. Followed the head coach to PSV in 2009, serving as his assistant for three seasons. • Took his first post as head coach at Go Ahead Eagles, winning promotion to the Dutch top flight in his 2012/13 debut season, before moving on to Bayern München's second team, winning the Regionalliga title in 2014 and working with Josep Guardiola. Took over at Utrecht in summer 2015, winning the as the Netherlands' coach of the year 12 months later.
