Zwolle will be hoping to pull off a major upset when they welcome Ajax to MAC³PARK Stadion in the opening round of the Eredivisie season. As Ajax have been producing fine performances in European competitions of late, we predict a 2-1 away win. The hosts, meanwhile, endured a disappointing end to preseason, suffering defeats to both AEK Athens and Hannover, and they face another stern test against one of the title favourites. Zwolle have won just two of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging only 1.0 goal scored while conceding 2.4 per game. They have also kept just one clean sheet during that spell, highlighting their defensive struggles. History offers little encouragement either, with Zwolle winning only two of the previous 27 meetings against Ajax.
Ajax, meanwhile, arrive in excellent spirits after producing a series of dominant displays in the Conference League qualifiers, scoring goals for fun. The Amsterdam giants have won seven of their last ten competitive matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored while remaining unbeaten in that run. Summer signing Marc-André ter Stegen is expected to make his official debut in goal, while Israeli forward Oscar Gloukh will once again be the man to watch after impressing with his creativity and finishing ability. Ajax have won 20 of the last 27 meetings with Zwolle and should have enough quality to continue that dominance.
Ajax are in superb form and possess far greater quality. As Zwolle suit the Amsterdammers, our main prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside Ajax Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Ajax's attacking firepower should produce another entertaining encounter).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 13:30.
