The Netherlands side has seen equality in results during pre-season as they have won and drawn 3 of their 6 pre-season matches.
This is Ajax’s final pre-season match before they play their Super Cup clash against Eindhoven on Saturday following which their league season begins.
On the other hand, Leeds United lost their last match against Real Betis 3-2 on Saturday.
In an engaging and thrilling contest, Sabaly scored the eventual winner to give the Spanish side a good win but not before Ruibal and Iglesias scored.
For Leeds, Bamford and Klich found the back of the net.
Leeds have not had the best of pre-season winning only 1 of their last 4 played being against Guiseley.
A victory against Ajax would give them a massive confidence lift and hence, we see them putting in a good performance.
Bielsa’s side face Villarreal next in their final pre-season match before they start their EPL campaign with a trip to Old Trafford.
Neither side has faced each other yet so with no baggage or history, we expect both sides to go at each other in search of the result.
Line-ups
Ajax:
Stekelenburg, Rensch, Timber, Martinez, Tagliafico, Taylor, Blind, Berghuis, Klaassen, Neres and Tadic
Leeds United:
Meslier, Dallas, Ayling, Koch, Firpo, Klich, Shackleton, Raphinha, Moreno, Harrison and Bamford
Prediction: Ajax 1-0 Leeds United
Ajax has been the side in better form coming to this clash and with a number of talented and attacking players, should edge this one.
Leeds has an incredibly talented side but with lack of form and consistency, might suffer in this one.
But we expect an engaging affair since neither side has faced each other before.
