Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 6-2 in their last match but Los Blancos drew against Racing 0-0 while Levante hit them 1-0 in the domestic league (La Liga BBVA). However, in their first match for the Champions League, Real Madrid were able to defeat Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 away from home. Ajax, meanwhile, are currently third in the Eredivisie table with 15 points from seven games. Ajax drew with Twente 1-1 and PSV Eindhoven 2-2 both for the Dutch league while drew against Olympic Lyon 0-0 at the Amsterdam Arena for the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho and Marcelo are both suspended. Alvaro Arbeloa could replace him in the left-back. Sami Kedhira could return in the starting line-up alongside Xabi Alonso in the midfield. Fabio Coentrao and Pepe are both strugling with injury while Carvalho is doubtful due to concussion. Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed his second hat-trick of the season last weekend against Rayo Vallecano are fit to face Ajax while Benzema is ready to jump to the pitch. Mesut Özil and Di Maria could complete the midfielder. However, Kaka is also a good option after his impressive performance in the last match. On the same way, Nicolai Boilesen could miss the match due to injury (hamstring) but Miralem Sulejmani and Vurnon Anita have been recovered from injuries and will be fit to enter at any moment for the Dutch club.
