A place in next season’s Conference League will be on the line when Ajax and Utrecht meet in the playoffs final at Kras Stadion. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 2-2 draw. Ajax booked their place in the decider with a solid 2-0 win over Groningen in the semis, but the Amsterdam giants head into the clash with several injury concerns as Jaros, Sutalo, Zinchenko, and Wijndal all remain sidelined. Even so, the Amsterdammers have looked fairly balanced in recent weeks, conceding less than a goal per game across their last ten outings.
Utrecht, on the other hand, head into the decider full of confidence after edging Heerenveen 3-2 in an entertaining semifinal clash. The nominal visitors have been one of the form teams lately, winning seven of their last ten matches and averaging two goals per game during that stretch. However, injuries to Jensen, Rodriguez, and Engwanda could limit their options in midfield and attack. Given Utrecht’s strong recent momentum and Ajax’s injury problems, this final could be far tighter than many expect, with goals likely at both ends.
As both sides possess strong attacking quality and have regularly delivered in big matches, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Draw (small stake).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 11:15.
