If you are in Canada, it will be broadcast on DAZN.
In the game for the first leg, Ajax did not meet the predictions of many who gave them as wide favorites (despite being visitors), and tied 2-2 with a Benfica that showed a lot of pride to recover after going down on the scoreboard twice. As in the first leg, the Dutch are favorites to advance to the round and even more so playing as locals
That is why Benfica will go in search of surprising Ajax. In the first leg, they showed a lot of personality and had the tools to complicate Ajax, who, despite the fact that the Oddsmakers consider them favorites, their passage to the quarterfinals is by no means guaranteed. It will not be easy for the Portuguese, especially playing away, however the game will undoubtedly be more closely contested than many forecasts say.
