His side will have to defeat a team who have already knocked out Real Madrid and Juventus in the knockout stages so far. Spurs will not only have to overturn a 1-0 deficit, but will have to put an end to an alarming run of results. Since their famous 4-3 second-leg victory over Manchester City in the Champions League quarter finals, Pochettino’s men have lost four of their last five games by a 1-0 scoreline. Here is all the key information you need ahead of the game… (Image: Getty Images) When is the match? The game takes place on Wednesday May 8. Where is the match taking place?

(Image: Getty Images) Tottenham team news Spurs will be boosted by the return of Heung-Min Son after the South Korean missed the first-leg defeat in North London due to suspension. Mauricio Pochettino will be hopeful that defender Jan Vertonghen, formerly of Ajax, can return having missed the disappointing 1-0 loss to Bournemouth at the weekend. The Belgian was injured in a horrific clash of heads with team-mate Toby Alderweireld in the first-leg. He was initially given the all-clear to return to the pitch but it was clear he couldn’t continue and was helped off the pitch by members of the club’s medical staff. Pochettino revealed on Saturday that the defender had trained before the Bournemouth game and that he could potentially be available for the game in Amsterdam. Unfortunately for Spurs, they will still be without Harry Kane and Harry Winks. Top-scorer Kane is still recovering from an ankle ligament injury, while Winks underwent groin surgery last week. They will also be without Serge Aurier and Erik Lamela, who are both recovering from hamstring injuries. Ajax team news Ajax ran out comfortable winners in a 4-0 defeat of Willem II in the KNVB Cup Final on Sunday. They limited key starters such as Lasse Schöne and David Neres to substitute roles, instead opting for the experience of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who scored twice to help the Dutch side lift their first trophy since 2014. Erik ten Hag’s side are top of the Eredivisie as well, with the opportunity to move closer to a potentially incredible treble on Wednesday night. Betting odds Ajax: 11/10 Draw: 13/5 Spurs: 23/10 Odds courtesy of Paddy Power.<doc-sep>Ajax vs Tottenham: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview Donny van de Beek's goal has given the Eredivisie side the edge over Spurs as both seek to meet Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1 Tottenham will join Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1 if they can turnaround a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Ajax at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Wednesday. Donny van de Beek’s well-worked goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Tuesday is the difference between the sides ahead of a return match in the Netherlands, though Erik ten Hag’s side may feel they should have a bigger advantage to protect as they go home. Ajax won the KNVB Beker on Sunday by defeating Willem II 4-0 in Rotterdam, offering a further boost to their confidence, while Spurs suffered a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, conceding late on in a game they played a large portion of with just nine men.

Match Preview When the dust settles on this campaign for Tottenham, it will be considered a successful one. A top-four finish in the Premier League has virtually been achieved, while the club could not have hoped for much better than a run to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Spurs, though, have lost nine of their last 14 games, winning only four, nearly losing their spot among Europe’s elite next season and jeopardising their hopes in the European Cup against Ajax. While the campaign will be remembered as a success, it threatens to be one tarred by unfulfilled potential, both domestically and in Europe. If their hopes of the Premier League have long been lost, that is not the case in the Champions League. Liverpool await the winners of this tie in what has been the Year of the Comeback in the competition. Spurs were the club that really started the trend, recovering from a seemingly impossible position in the group stage to dramatically seal their place in the knockout rounds. Before the Reds rallied on Tuesday to come back and beat Barcelona having lost the first leg 3-0 at Camp Nou, Ajax were the undisputed kings of the recovery in the competition. Both Real Madrid and Juventus – hopefuls to win the whole thing – had left Amsterdam feeling content with their work only to be defeated at home, in the Spaniards’ case a 4-1 thumping that will remain engrained in the history of the two clubs for very different reasons. Now the Dutch side face the challenge of being frontrunners – and possibly even favourites – in the knockout stages, something they have not experienced previously. With a famously offensive mindset, coach Erik ten Hag will not allow his side to take a step back. “We will step onto the pitch with the score 0-0 in our minds,” he said. “I want my team to reach a higher level than we already have reached this season, and to win. "We have to win the match and we'll play to our strengths. We have to win. It's a new game we have to play.” Article continues below Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, meanwhile, still clearly believes in his side’s chances after being drawn into musing over his future should they go all the way. “To win the Champions League with Tottenham, in this circumstance, in this season, maybe I need to think a little bit to do something different in the future, for sure,” he said. Wednesday’s game will not make or break Spurs’ season, but it could provide a pathway to an incredible finale.<doc-sep>Either Ajax or Tottenham will move on to the Champions League final when the two meet in Amsterdam on Wednesday for their semifinal second leg. Last week in London, the talented Dutch club scored a 1-0 victory to return home as the favorite, looking to close out Spurs, who were without the injured Harry Kane and the suspended Son Heung-min. Donny van de Beek's goal in the first leg has Ajax needing just a draw in the second leg at home to move on, while Tottenham is forced to find its scoring boots, which have gone missing. Tottenham hasn't scored in its last three games.

Storylines Ajax: This team has gone on the road with nothing to lose in this competition to beat Real Madrid, Juventus and Tottenham in consecutive matches. How will this team handle the pressure of closing it out at home this time around? Expect Ajax to not change how it does things -- lots of quick passes, fluid movement and sharp balls to feet to create quick shots. They'll stick to the plan and hope it means a spot in the final. Tottenham: Thirty-nine shots in the last three games and zero goals to show for it paints the picture of what the problem has been. There have been chances to finish, some golden ones, but the frustration builds as the ball doesn't find the back of the net. Getting Son back certainly changes everything, but the team must be cautious and not be exposed to the counter attack by going forward to too many numbers. Ajax vs. Tottenham prediction Ajax gets the result it needs to move on, but it isn't without the threat of a late goal turning the tide. Pick: Draw (+270)<doc-sep>
​Tottenham Hotspur head to Amsterdam on Wednesday night looking to overturn their 1-0 deficit from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final and reach the final in Madrid. To do so, they will need to defeat the competition's dark horses, Ajax. The Dutch side already have the scalps of Juventus and Real Madrid to their name this season and they will be quietly confident of taking another on Wednesday night. Despite the negative result in the first leg, Mauricio Pochettino may have at least taken something from Spurs' performance, which for most part was very good. Aside from a lacklustre opening 20 minutes, the Londoners controlled the game, albeit without providing much threat to the away team's goal. Ajax will have been delighted with their win, but may regret not adding to the scoreline. David Neres had a great chance to make it 2-0 in the second half, but saw his low shot come back off Hugo Lloris' post. Tricky though the task may be, Tottenham have looked dead and buried on several occasions in this Champions League campaign, and will be hoping their fighting spirit is enough to carry them through once again. Check out 90min's preview of the game below: Where to Watch ​ ​When Is Kick Off? Wednesday 8 April​ ​What Time Is Kick Off? 20:00 BST​ ​Where Is It Being Played? Amsterdam Arena​ ​TV Channel/Live Stream? BT Sport 2​ ​Referee? Felix Brych​ Team News Ajax were able to rotate players for their weekend away win at Willem II and have no fresh injury concerns. The Dutch side gave valuable minutes to the likes of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who bagged himself two goals in their 4-0 win. Given the positive result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week, Ajax are expected to name the same lineup once again, with manager Erik ten Hag hoping for a repeat of the first leg result. Pochettino on the other hand has a somewhat depleted squad to choose from as his team have been hit with several injuries. However, ​Spurs receive a welcome boost with the return of ​Son Heung-min, who missed the first leg through suspension. Tottenham are waiting to see on the fitness of centre-back Jan Vertonghen, who was withdrawn in the first leg following a nasty looking head injury. Star striker Harry Kane is still recovering from his ankle injury and this game is expected to come too soon for him. Predicted Lineups ​ ​Ajax Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; Schone, De Jong, Ziyech; Van de Beek, Neres, Tadic​ ​Tottenham Hotspur Lloris; Trippier, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose; Sissoko, Wanyama, Alli, Eriksen, Son, Lucas​ Head to Head Record The first leg was only the third meeting between these two sides and it was the first time Ajax has come out on top. Tottenham won both legs when the two teams met in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup back in 1981. On their only previous visit to Amsterdam, Spurs won 3-1. A repeat of this scoreline on Wednesday would be enough to send them to the ​Champions League final. On the 30 occasions that an English side has come up against Dutch opposition, only three have ended in defeat. Spurs account for two of those however, with their loss to PSV in 2008 adding to their first leg defeat in this tie. Recent Form Ajax come into this game on the back of a great run of form, having not lost since the middle of March. They walked to a 4-0 win in the cup at the weekend, despite the manager making several changes. With ten goals in their last two home games, Spurs will have one hell of a task keeping this team quiet on Wednesday. Despite their run to the semi-finals in Europe, Tottenham's league form does not make for pretty reading. A l ast minute defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend made it three consecutive 1-0 losses for the Londoners. Since the turn of the year, Spurs have lost eight league games. That said, other results at the weekend meant that despite their defeat, they will almost certainly be playing Champions League football again next year.
