Ajax vs Benfica Live Streaming, UEFA Champions League 2025-26: Ajax and Benfica, two European giants with a disastrous Champions League campaign, meet in a crucial league-stage clash at Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday. Both clubs are yet to register even a single point this season, with matchday five being one of the last chances either side will have to restore pride in a campaign defined by defensive chaos, injuries, and internal turbulence.
Ajax enter the contest battered by heavy defeats to Inter Milan, Marseille, Chelsea, and most recently Galatasaray, where Victor Osimhen's 19-minute hat-trick exposed the Dutch side's structural collapse. With 14 goals conceded and just one scored, Ajax remain bottom of the league-phase standings. Interim manager Fred Grim has struggled to steady the team, overseeing a poor run that includes three straight losses and a worrying dip in home form.
Meanwhile, Benfica have also suffered misery despite a stronger domestic campaign. Jose Mourinho’s team lost all four of their Champions League games without scoring, along with defeats to Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Bayer Leverkusen. They sit second from the bottom and remain one of the lowest-scoring sides in the competition.
Despite their struggles, Benfica will draw hope from their last visit to Amsterdam, when a 1-0 victory was secured. Ajax, though, come into this one desperate to avoid an eighth successive continental defeat, the longest in their history.
Sony Sports Network will broadcast the Champions League game between Ajax and Benfica live in India.
Live Streaming: The match will be streamed on the Sony LIV app and website, available for all premium subscribers.
Ajax Probable XI: Trubin; Dahl, Otamendi, A. Silva, Dedic; Rios, Barreiro; Ausenes, Sudakov, Schjelderup; Pavlidis
Benfica Probable XI: Pasveer; Gaaei, Sutalo, Baas, Alders; Regeer, Taylor; Edvardsen, Gloukh, Godts; Dolberg
Both are out of form, fragile in defense, and struggling for rhythm, but Benfica appear slightly more balanced against the backdrop of a stable domestic run and Mourinho's tactical adjustments in the Taca de Portugal. Ajax's worst Champions League defensive record this season remains a major concern.
However, Ajax's home support and Benfica's issues in scoring away from Portugal keep the contest open.
Prediction: A slim win for Benfica or a goalless draw.
