Ajax
Ajax continued to dominate in the Netherlands last season. They won their third consecutive title and will play again in the Champions League group stage. Last year, they were perfect in the group stage when they collect a maximum of 18 points, but then they were unexpectedly eliminated by Benfica in round of 16.
Between two seasons, an era ended. Erik ten Hag accepted Manchester United’s offer and left Ajax after five years. He was replaced by Alfred Schreuder, but it won’t be easy for him to repeat Ten Hag results. Several important players also left Ajax this summer. Ten Hag took Lisandro Lopez with him to Manchester United, Sebastian Haller went to Borussia Dortmund, and Ryan Gravenberch to Bayern. Nicolas Tagliafico and Noussair Mazraoui are no longer in team either.
With the money they made from selling players, Ajax found replacements. Steven Bergwijn was paid more than 30 million euros to Tottenham, while Calvin Bassey came from Rangers for 23 millions. Ajax also brought in Owen Wijndal, Francisco Conceicao and talented Brian Bobbey. Already this weekend, we will see how good job they did in the first official match against PSV.
PSV
After two years, Roger Schmidt left PSV and went to Benfica. German coach managed to win the Dutch Cup and the Super Cup last season, but in domestic league he failed to beat Ajax. PSV didn’t shine on continental stage, as they were eliminated in the Europa League group stage. They continued their journey in the Conference League, but Leicester City defeated them in quarterfinals.
Instead of Roger Schmidt, Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed as new head coach. Legendary Dutch striker spent four years working in PSV’s youth categories and he is now ready for big challenge. Unlike Ajax, PSV had no big transfers this summer. Mario Gotze and Ritsu Doan are only players who left the club. After three years, Luuk de Jong returned to PSV. They also signed Guus Til who played very well in Feyenoord last season.
For several years now, PSV has not been at nearly good as Ajax, but coaching changes in both clubs could also mean a change in the first position. Last year, PSV defeated Ajax 4:0 in the Super Cup, but they didn’t continue in that rhythm after that.
H2H
Four times these two teams played against each other last season. Ajax won both league matches, while PSV won in the Super Cup and in the Dutch Cup final.
Injuries
Maarten Stekelenburg is only unavailable player for Ajax. Andre Ramalho, Carlos Vinicius, Mauro Junior and Olivier Boscagli won’t play for PSV.
Ajax vs. PSV Prediction
Games between Ajax and PSV are usually full of goals. Something similar is to be expected now. Neither of these two teams will strive for defensive football and there will certainly be plenty of opportunities on both sides.
