Go Ahead Eagles are set to host Ajax at De Adelaarshorst on matchday two in the Eredivisie. Go Ahead Eagles are in ninth place, while Ajax are in fifth place. Here's our match prediction.
Go Ahead Eagles are faced with a tough assignment on the second matchday of the Eredivisie in a bid to secure their first league win. Standing in their way is Ajax, a side they last defeated 2-1 at home in 2022.
Since that result, the pride of the IJssel have gone six matches without a win in this fixture. However, they did show their competitiveness with four encounters ending level.
Last time out, in the league opener, a point was shared between them and Fortuna Sittard on the road. Gerrit Nauber scored an equalizer at the death to see the scoreline read 2-2 at the sound of the final whistle.
Ajax began life in the Eredivisie under the new management of John Heitinga on a positive note. A comfortable 2-0 home win against newly-promoted Telstar witnessed them bag three points. Wout Weghorst scored both goals in that match.
Last season, the Sons of the Gods' final moments on the road were worthy of admiration. Apart from failing to win their last two games against FC Utrecht (4-0) and Groningen (2-2), seven wins in nine games was nothing short of a resilient display.

Our Go Ahead Eagles vs Ajax Prediction
Twice last season, Go Ahead Eagles failed to secure a win against Ajax. The home team has also had it very challenging in this fixture, going six matches without a win. It's certain they may drop all three points in their first league game.
On paper, Ajax are a superior team with a wealth of quality within its ranks. Last season, they won their opening game in the Eredivisie, but failed to win the next match, as evidenced in the previous season. However, we expect this time to be different. Our Go Ahead Eagles v Ajax prediction: Ajax wins the match.
