Ajax vs NEC Nijmegen Prediction (10.10.2026)

Ajax has been performing well since the start of the season in the Netherlands, having only lost one of their first seven league matches, and that was against the champions PSV Eindhoven. The team already has four victories, achieved in a quite convincing manner. The offensive play is particularly impressive, where Ajax demonstrates bold football and high scoring.

The visitors also prefer open football, but this approach does not always yield positive results. NEC Nijmegen has not won in their last four league matches, and in the meantime suffered a heavy defeat to Juventus in the Europa League. The international break likely came at a suitable time, but the question remains whether the team will be able to improve its performance before the tough away match against Ajax.

I expect Ajax to assert their superiority and secure the victory, but the option for a high scoring match seems even more appealing to me. In each of Ajax's last nine matches, there have been over 2.5 goals, and the same has happened in eight of NEC Nijmegen's last nine encounters. Given the attacking style of both teams, my prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
