The champions of Germany and Holland meet in the Champions League tomorrow night. Here, Sports Mole previews the encounter.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has a fully fit squad at his disposal for his side's opening Champions League game of the season against Ajax on Tuesday night.

German international Marco Reus found himself on the bench at the weekend but is expected to return to the starting lineup for the visit of the Dutch champions.

Holding midfielder Sven Bender is also in contention for a place in the Dortmund 18-man squad following his return from hernia surgery.

In contrast, Ajax coach Frank de Boer has a number of injury concerns. Nicolai Boilesen, Eyong Enoh and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson have all been ruled out with complaints.

However, former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is likely to make his starting debut.

This encounter has been dubbed a must-win for both sides considering that the other two teams in the group are Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Recent form:

Dortmund: WDWWL
Ajax: WDWWD

Possible lineups:

Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Gundogan, Kehl, Blaszczykowski, Gotze, Reus; Lewandowski

Ajax: Vermeer; Van Rhijn, Alderweireld, Moisander, Blind; De Jong, Eriksen, Poulsen; Sana, Babel; Boerigter

Sports Mole says: 2-0
