Prediction: Dortmund 1-3 Ajax
Ajax is in scintillating form in the UCL and would aim to secure qualification with a win here.
Dortmund has performed well in the absence of Håland, but are bound to find it difficult against a rampant Ajax side.
We expect the Eredivisie side to clinch all three points here as they look the better and more composed unit.
Players to watch out for: Hazard, Brandt, Haller and Tadic.
