----------------------------------------------
Ajax, four-time European champions, open their new Champions League campaign at home against last season’s runners-up Inter Milan, entering the match unbeaten while their opponents arrive on the back of two consecutive defeats as both teams continue to recover from late-season setbacks in 2024–25.
Team Analysis:
Ajax enter the new Champions League phase under John Heitinga after a dramatic collapse last season saw them lose the Eredivisie title, exit the Europa League early and go three years without silverware, though they remain unbeaten this term with strong home form. Inter Milan also arrive following domestic and European disappointment, parting ways with Simone Inzaghi after a heavy final defeat to PSG and appointing Cristian Chivu, who has made a mixed start as coach. Both clubs now look to reset and begin their campaigns strongly in a high-profile rematch steeped in European history.
Player Situation:
Ajax approach the match with almost a full squad, missing only Branco van den Boomen, and are expected to feature Wout Weghorst, Mika Godts, and Steven Berghuis in attack, supported by midfield talents like Kenneth Taylor and new signing Oscar Gloukh. Inter travel with a complete roster that includes newcomer Manuel Akanji and other fresh arrivals such as Petar Sucic, Andy Diouf, and Ange-Yoan Bonny, while Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez lead their frontline after strong scoring records.
Result Prediction:
Inter have been highly consistent in recent Champions League group games with strong defensive records, but their stability has weakened and Ajax’s attack could be enough to earn the hosts at least a draw in the opener.
Predicted Result: Ajax 2-2 Inter Milan.
