Match backgroundIt is all to play for as Ajax meet Valencia in the final round of Group H games with both sides harbouring hopes ofreaching the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.

• The Dutch side lead the way in the section, three of their ten points having come from a 3-0 success in Valencia onMatchday 2, Hakim Ziyech (8), Quincy Promes (34) and Donny van de Beek (67) with the goals to inflict Valencia'sfirst home European defeat by a Dutch club. Valencia and Chelsea are two points behind Ajax on eight.

• Ajax will go through if they avoid defeat, or if Chelsea fail to beat LOSC Lille at Stamford Bridge; Valencia willprogress if they beat Ajax, or as long as they finish at least level on points with Chelsea due to their superior head-to-head record. A win for either Ajax or Valencia will secure first place in the group.

Previous meetings• The sides' two contests before this season both finished 1-1, in the second group stage of the 2002/03 UEFAChampions League. Ajax looked set for three points when Zlatan Ibrahimović gave them an 88th-minute lead atMestalla 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 afirst-half Kily González penalty.

• Valencia finished first in the section with nine points, one place and one point better off than Ajax as both teamsprogressed to the quarter-finals. Both were eliminated by Milanese clubs in the last eight, Ajax losing to AC Milan andInternazionale beating Valencia.

Form guideAjax• Ajax won their first two games 3-0, at home to LOSC and at Valencia. They were then beaten 1-0 at home byChelsea before a remarkable 4-4 draw in London on Matchday 4, in which Ajax let slip a 4-1 lead and had twoplayers, Daley Blind and Joël Veltman, sent off. The Dutch club got back to winning ways with a 2-0 success at LOSClast time out.

• 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 athome and bow out after a 3-3 aggregate draw.

• Erik ten Hag's team lost only two of their 18 European matches in 2018/19 (W10 D6), when they became the firstside in European Cup history to reach the semi-finals having come through three qualifying rounds and the first Dutchclub 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 theDutch 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 Europeanmatches, but a 2-0 home win booked their group return. This season's results have stretched their unbeaten away runin Europe to 14 matches (W7 D7). The second-leg victory against PAOK in Amsterdam ended a run of four homeEuropean matches without a win (D2 L2).

• Ajax lost 2-1 at home to Real Madrid in last season's round of 16 first leg, but turned the tie round with a remarkable4-1 victory in Spain. Despite that result, and the Matchday 2 win at Valencia, the Amsterdammers have won only fourof their last 17 games against Spanish opponents (D1 L12).

• Ajax have lost six of their last eight games against Spanish visitors in Amsterdam, winning the other two.

Valencia• Valencia have picked up four points from their first two away games, beating Chelsea 1-0 in London on Matchday 1before conceding a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at LOSC Lille in their third fixture. They overturned a half-time deficit tobeat the French club 4-1 on Matchday 4 at Mestalla, where they drew 2-2 with Chelsea last time out.

• The Matchday 1 win at Chelsea is Valencia's only victory in their last seven UEFA Champions League awaymatches (D3 L3); however, they have won four of their last 11 (D4 L3).

• Valencia have scored only three goals in their last seven away UEFA Champions League matches and have notscored more than once in any of their last 11, qualifying included.

• Fourth in the Spanish Liga in 2018/19, this is Valencia's 12th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign.
