Ajax will look to build on an encouraging preseason campaign when they take on Burnley in Sunday's friendly. The Dutch giants were impressive in a 1-0 victory over Olympiacos before defeating Vojvodina in Europe, with several youngsters continuing to make a strong case for regular minutes. Talented midfielder Mohamed Abdalla is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Vojvodina, while fellow youngsters Rayane Bounida Konadu, Caio Henrique, and Jorthy Mokio are all hoping to be included from the first whistle. Ajax have also been solid defensively of late, keeping clean sheets in five of their last ten matches and conceding just 0.9 goals per game overall.
Burnley, meanwhile, endured a disappointing Premier League campaign last season as they failed to preserve their top-flight status. Scott Parker's men looked vulnerable at the back in a heavy 4-1 preseason defeat to Real Salt Lake, exposing several defensive weaknesses. South Africa international Lyle Foster should feature after being rested in that match following his World Cup appearance, but the Clarets have failed to win any of their last ten competitive matches and have conceded an average of 2.2 goals per game during that run. With Ajax looking far sharper at this stage of the summer, the visitors are unlikely to spoil the hosts' plans.
Burnley's poor form and defensive struggles make an away victory unlikely. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Ajax Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Burnley have been leaking goals, while Ajax possess plenty of attacking talent).
This match will be played on Sunday 26 July 2026 at 13:00.
