Prediction: Paderborn 0-2 Ajax
Ajax has the more experienced and quality filled line-up and this pre-season match should be won by the Eredivisie Champions.
Paderborn’s first match of the new season could see them not at their best and slightly rusty due to the break.
The visitors must capitalize and get the much required practice in their favour.
