Tottenham vs Ajax Preview: Young dreamers go head-to-head for the same glory

Two of the great stories of this season's Champions League go head-to-head as Tottenham host Ajax in the semi-final.

Spurs have reached their first semi-final since 1962 despite not spending a single penny in the past two transfer windows.

Ajax have made the last four for the first time in 22 years with one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the competition.

Kick Off: 21:00 CET, Tuesday

Good & Bad for Tottenham

Tottenham have no worries in the Premier League because they are much safe at the 3rd place, which means a Champions League spot is touchable to them and no pressure is put on them.

But their ace Son Heung-Min will miss the first leg against after his yellow card in the 4-3 loss at Man City, and longer-term absentee, Harry Kane, is certain to miss the rest of the season unless Tottenham make the final.

Harry Winks and Erik Lamela are still doubtful to return as they continue to recover from their various injuries. Moussa Sissoko and Serge Aurier will both be unavailable due to their injuries.

Good & Bad for Ajax

Ajax don't be guaranteed the title yet in the domestic league, the Eredivisie. They are ahead on goal difference to PSV Eindhoven and have two more matches to play.

The Eredivisie side won't have played for a week by the time this match comes around after the Dutch FA postponed the weekend's games in order for Ajax to prepare accordingly.

There are no injury concerns for Ajax ahead of their trip to Tottenham, which will be the biggest advantage compared to their rivals.
