Volendam vs Ajax Prediction 2 August 2026
🔊 Ajax are using the break between European fixtures to sharpen their preparation for the domestic season. The friendly against Volendam - former Eredivisie regulars - fits right into that plan. Let's take a closer look at what the Amsterdam coaching staff are hoping to get out of this one.
Head-to-Head
📊 These two sides have met more than a dozen times overall, but only eight of those matches fall within the last five seasons - two of them friendlies. Ajax won five, three ended in draws. Over that stretch, the favourites averaged 2.63 goals per game, the underdogs 1.38.
One more thing: Volendam's last win in regular time dates back to 1994.
Head-to-head statistics Volendam - Ajax
Volendam Team Overview
Volendam were relegated from the Eredivisie through the playoff last season, and they've played five pre-season friendlies this summer. The goals have been coming regularly - stretch it back to include the end of last season and they've scored in nine straight matches. Against top opposition, too: in 2025/26 pre-season they've put two past PSV and AZ Alkmaar, and one each against Ajax and Feyenoord.
Match Results: Volendam
Ajax Amsterdam Team Overview
Ajax are closing in on the kind of form they'll want at the start of the Eredivisie season, though even with a packed European schedule they've still found room for a friendly or two. In Conference League qualifying they brushed past Vojvodina without much trouble - two wins, both 4-1. And in each game the dominance went well beyond the scoreline. The combined numbers across both legs are pretty striking: over 68% possession, nearly 4.0 xG, 45 shots aimed at goal to Vojvodina's 12, and 21 on target to 6. It looks like Ajax want to work on situations where they don't need to control every minute of the game - which means Volendam will get their chances.

Trends- Over 2.5 goals has landed in 8 consecutive Volendam matches (Club Friendlies).
⭐ Editor's Pick
Ajax look to be in brilliant finishing form, but they may want more pressure from their opponents. Over the next month and a half they've got PSV coming up, plus tougher opposition in the Conference League qualifying than Vojvodina. The pressure over 90 minutes isn't in question, but the nominal away side could deliberately sit back and experiment with defensive combinations. In that case, something close to even possession isn't out of the picture. Factor in that 11 of Volendam's last 13 matches - a side that was regularly playing against these same top clubs not long ago - saw both teams score, and the call is obvious. Our bet: Both Teams To Score: Yes.
