Ajax will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the new Eredivisie campaign when they welcome Heerenveen to the Johan Cruijff Arena. As Michel's men look unstoppable at the moment, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Amsterdammers are on a seven-game winning run in all competitions after beating Zwolle 2-0 in their season opener. Their recent numbers are equally impressive, with Ajax winning eight of their last 10 matches and averaging 2.2 goals per game. Brandt and Mokio are pushing for starting berths after both made an impact from the bench against Zwolle, giving the hosts even more attacking options.
Heerenveen, meanwhile, head into the game full of confidence after a 1-0 victory over Twente. However, the visitors managed only seven attempts in that game, compared with 18 for Twente, suggesting they were perhaps fortunate to leave with all three points. Defender Mats Egbring is likely to miss out through injury, while Heerenveen have won just one of their last five away matches. The H2H record is heavily in Ajax's favour, with the hosts winning 25 of their 32 previous meetings. Furthermore, 24 of those encounters produced over 2.5 goals. With Ajax in such strong form, another home victory looks highly likely.
Ajax have won seven straight matches and have beaten Heerenveen in 25 of their last 32 meetings. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Ajax Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (This landed in 24 of the last 32 H2H meetings, while Ajax's recent matches average 3.1 goals).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 16 August 2026 at 15:45.
