Ajax vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction and Betting Tips

Ajax will welcome Go Ahead Eagles to the Amsterdam Arena in Eredivisie action on Saturday (October 1).

The hosts will look to resume their league campaign following the international break with a win, having suffered a defeat in their previous outing. Ajax fell to a 2-1 loss at AZ Alkmaar. Goals Mees de Wit and Jens Odgaard helped the hosts overturn Mohammed Kudus' 12th-minute opener for Ajax.

That loss brought an end to Ajax's 100% record in the league and also saw them slip to second place in the standings, with PSV moving ahead on goal difference.

Eagles, meanwhile, have won their last two games after losing their previous five. In their previous outing, they beat FC Emmen 2-0, thanks to Oliver Valaker Edvardsen's brace. It was also their first clean sheet of the season.

Ajax vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction

Ajax take on an in-form Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, so they might opt to rest their key players. Nonetheless, they should have enough firepower to beat the visitors, who have just one point from their trips to Amsterdam.
