There are some classic match ups tonight, with perhaps the Ajax versus Juventus game attracting the most interest. They have faced each other eleven times in Europe but whilst we think Ajax have a great shout given the current form of the Italian side the side that we flagged up when the draw was made Red Bull Salzburg are the bet to win away against Standard Liege.

Salzburg won their group in a hack canter and where the only team not to drop a point. The group was strong. Obviously the cream of Europe was in the Champions League but to beat Villareal and Lazio home and away is no mean achievement. They scored nine and only conceded two. Currently in the Austrian League they are top of the pile and haven't been beaten since October. They returned from the winter break last week with an away victory.
Standard Liege are having a poor season. They are in 4th place in the Belgium League and are nineteen points of the pace. Last week they sacked the coach and the first game back after the mid-winter break resulted in a four nil home defeat against Anderlecht.
Red Bull have a great chance tonight if they are loyal to the attacking policy that has got them to the last 32. At 3.5 they represent cracking value.
