RB Leipzig are set to play Ajax at the Untersberg-Arena on Saturday in a friendly game.

Ajax, on the other hand, drew 2-2 against Julian Nagelsmann's Bayern Munich in a friendly fixture. Goals from Morocco international Zakaria Labyad and Danish winger Victor Jensen for Ajax was cancelled out by goals from striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and French centre-back Tanguy Nianzou for Bayern Munich.

RB Leipzig vs Ajax Prediction
RB Leipzig have a new manager at the helm in the form of Jesse Marsch. They have been extremely active in the transfer window so far, having agreed deals for French centre-back Mohamed Simakan, Portuguese striker Andre Silva and Dutch striker Brian Brobbey, who joins the club from Ajax.
Ajax, on the other hand, have completed arguably the most controversial deal of the summer so far. They have signed forward Steven Berghuis from arch-rivals Feyenoord, and the signing has created ripples across Dutch football.
A close match is on the cards, and a draw seems to be an ideal result.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-1 Ajax
