Having both recorded victories in the opening round of UEFA Champions League games, Valencia and Ajax know that another win would put them in a strong position to progress from Group H. • While Valencia kicked off with an unexpected 1-0 success away to Chelsea, Ajax – surprise semi-finalists in 2018/19 – were no less impressive, opening with a 3-0 win against LOSC Lille in Amsterdam. Previous meetings • The sides' two past contests both finished 1-1, in the second group stage of the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League. Ajax looked set for three points when Zlatan Ibrahimović gave them an 88th-minute lead at Mestalla in November 2002, only for Miguel Ángel Angulo to level two minutes into added time. • It was also all square in Amsterdam in March 2003, Petri Pasanen's 57th-minute equaliser for Ajax cancelling out a first-half Kily González penalty. • Valencia finished first in the section with nine points, one place and one point better off than Ajax as both teams progressed to the quarter-finals. Both were eliminated by Milanese clubs in the last eight, Ajax losing to AC Milan and Internazionale beating Valencia. Form guide Valencia • Rodrigo's 74th-minute goal gave Valencia three points at Chelsea in their first fixture, although they needed a late penalty miss from Ross Barkley to preserve that advantage. • Fourth in the Spanish Liga in 2018/19, this is Valencia's 12th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign. Finalists in both 1999/2000 and 2000/01, they have not reached the last 16 since 2012/13. • Twelve months ago Los Blanquinegros were also in Group H, finishing third behind Juventus and Manchester United – who they beat 2-1 at Mestalla on matchday six having earlier held out for a goalless draw at Old Trafford – to move into the UEFA Europa League. There they overcame Celtic (3-0 on aggregate), Krasnodar (3-2) and Villarreal (5-1) to reach the semi-finals, where they came up short against Arsenal, losing 3-1 in and 4-2 at home. • Valencia had won five successive home European matches before losing to Arsenal last season. They have won 12 of their last 16 continental fixtures at Mestalla, losing the other four. • The Spanish side have lost four of their last seven home matches in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final, and have managed three wins in eight at Mestalla (D1). • Valencia are unbeaten at home against Dutch clubs (W4 D2), winning the last three such matches, most recently a 4-0 defeat of AZ Alkmaar in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg – the third time in a row they had scored four goals against visitors at Mestalla. The 2-1 first-leg loss at AZ in that tie is Valencia's sole defeat by Dutch opponents, home or away (W5 D6). Ajax • Ajax kicked off Group H in style, goals from , Edson Álvarez and Nicolás Tagliafico earning a comfortable win against LOSC at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. • Ajax went all the way from the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round to the semi-finals in 2018/19, losing on away goals to Tottenham in the last four after conceding six minutes into added time to go down 3-2 at home and bow out after a 3-3 aggregate draw. • 's team lost only two of their 18 European matches in 2018/19 (W10 D6), when they became the first side in European Cup history to reach the semi-finals having come through three qualifying rounds and the first Dutch club to get to the UEFA Champions League last four since PSV Eindhoven in 2004/05. • Champions of the Netherlands for the 34th time in 2018/19 – their first league title since 2014 – Ajax also lifted the Dutch Cup to claim their eighth domestic double, and a first since 2002. • They kicked off this season's UEFA Champions League in the third qualifying round, seeing off Greek side PAOK 5- 4 on aggregate after a 2-2 away draw and a 3-2 home win secured by an 85th-minute Dušan Tadić penalty. • A goalless draw at APOEL in the first leg of the play-offs ended Ajax's run of scoring in 14 successive European matches, but a 2-0 home win booked their group return. The draw in Cyprus stretched their unbeaten away run in Europe to 11 matches (W5 D6). • Ajax's last visit to Spain proved memorable as they won 4-1 at Real Madrid in last season's round of 16 second leg, going through 5-3 on aggregate. • That was Ajax's first victory in Spain since a 3-2 triumph at Atlético Madrid in the 1996/97 UEFA Champions League
