Preview

Match preview

Telstar host Ajax in round four of the Eredivisie season with both sides looking to build on their early league campaigns. The hosts currently sit 13th in the table with three points from their opening two fixtures, bouncing back from an opening 3-1 home defeat against Sparta Rotterdam with a 2-1 away victory over NEC Nijmegen.

Ajax enter the fixture in 6th place with four points from two league matches, having defeated PEC Zwolle 2-0 away and drawn 2-2 at home against Heerenveen. The Amsterdam side has maintained strong scoring form across all competitions, including high-scoring European victories against FC Sion (4-2 away and 5-3 at home), though their tight schedule and defensive concessions present areas for Telstar to target.

Historically, Ajax hold a complete advantage in this fixture, winning all four previous meetings across league and cup competitions. However, with Ajax managing squad rotation and injuries to players including Daley Blind, Youri Regeer, and Amourricho van Axel Dongen, Telstar will look to make home advantage count.
