Ajax vs. Inter Milan Prediction, Pick
Gone are the days when Ajax would dominate the Dutch Eredivisie. From 2011 to 2022, they finished no lower than second in the league, winning the league title seven times in 11 years. In the past three seasons, they’ve finished third, fifth and second. Still helmed by veteran Dutch players like Wout Weghorst, Davy Klaassen, and Steven Berghuis, there’s been a bit of a youth movement behind that trio. They’re hoping to build the next Dutch superpower on the strength that youth.
They are sure catching Inter Milan at a vulnerable time. Coming off six straight years in the top three of the Serie A table and a UCL Final appearance last year, expectations are high for Inter. Dropping two of their first three domestic contests has left a bad taste in their mouth. Now, the question is whether the slide will continue, or they can shake off the demons with a UCL-opening win over Ajax. It’s another chance for Lautaro Martinez to continue his clutch time dominance.
Ajax has promise, but this Inter side is too deep and talented for them to handle. As they look to make another deep run in European football, count on Inter to take an important first step.
