Written by flyfra on 16 February 2010 | No comments yet | in: UEFA Cup

Europa League, last 16 first round: Thursday, February 18 at 7PM (CET) at the Amsterdam Arena Ajax and Juventus will play the first of the two matches of the LAST 16 round. The "bianconeri" who came back to the success Sunday versus Genoa, start the new adventure in Europa League after the early elimination in the Champions League. Coach Zaccheroni is boosting the morale of the team; the match against Ajax will be the test bed to understand if the Juventus crisis is finally finished. In the team will come back Mauro Camoranesi and David Trezeguet. Both of them, however, will start from the bench. There is an high probability that Mr. Zac confirms the same line-up of the last Sunday match, with a 3-4-1-2: the 3 defenders will be Zebina, Legrottaglie and Chiellini (Cannavaro is still injured), with Caceres and De Ceglie wingers. In the midfield Sissoko, Marchisio and Felipe Melo contend for 2 places. Diego will play behind the two strikers Del Piero and Amauri (Giovinco will probably enter after the first half). Martin Jol, Ajax's coach, should not have any line-up problem. The "Sons of the Gods" rely on the talent of Suarez, striker followed by Juventus. Probable line-up Ajax – Juventus: Ajax: Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel, Oleguer, Alderweireld, Anita, De Zeeuw, De Jong, Lindgren, Rommedahl, Pantelic, Suarez. Bench: Vermeer, Ogararu, Sulejmani, Kennedy, Lodeiro, Suk, Eriksen. Juventus: Buffon, Zebina, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Caceres, De Ceglie, Sissoko, Marchisio, Diego, Del Piero, Amauri. Bench: Manninger, Grygera, Grosso, Candreva, Salihamidzic, Giovinco, Paolucci. The odds for the Ajax – Juventus match from the most popular betting websites:
