Telstar return to the Eredivisie for the first time since 1978, but the draw gave them an extremely difficult start - an away game against Ajax. The guests reached the elite after playoffs, eliminating Willem II, but the challenge at the Johan Cruyff Arena is of a completely different caliber. Recently, the two teams met in the Cup, with Ajax winning twice.
Solid home teamAjax lost only once in 17 home matches in the league last season and had the most stable defense in the league, conceding only 32 goals in 34 rounds. Their only home loss cost them the title, but now the ambition is for a strong start. Their home record suggests that they have an excellent chance to secure a victory and keep a clean sheet against the newcomer.
Prediction: Ajax to win with a -1 handicapThe difference in class is obvious and I expect the hosts to take a convincing victory. Ajax have the necessary arguments to win by more than one goal difference, and a result like 3:0 seems completely realistic.
