AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs Telstar Prediction

de Godenzonen had won just one of their previous five league games in the 2024-25 campaign, which cost them the league title. Francesco Farioli was let go as the head coach at the end of the season, and former Liverpool assistant coach John Heitinga has been given charge of the club this season.

Davy Klaassen has been appointed as the new club captain for this season. New signing Oscar Gloukh is in contention to make his debut here.

The White Lions are back in the top flight after almost half a century and will look to give a good account of themselves. Notably, their only away win in this fixture was registered in 1964.

The hosts have scored at least three goals in five of their last six meetings against Telstar, and are strong favorites. With that in mind and considering Godenzonen's advantage in squad quality, we back them to record a comfortable win.

Prediction: AFC Ajax Amsterdam 3-1 Telstar
