Ajax vs Sion Prediction 27 August 2026
📢 Is there any chance of an upset in the second leg between Ajax and Sion? The Dutch club were already clear favourites before the tie began, and their 4-2 away win in the first leg of the Conference League qualifying play-off has only strengthened their position. That said, writing Sion off completely would be premature. The Swiss side know they have nothing to lose, and will surely push hard - if not to turn the tie around, then at least to make a fight of it.
Head-to-Head
📊 Last week's match was the first ever meeting between Ajax and Sion.
Head-to-head statistics Ajax - Sion
Ajax Amsterdam Team Overview
Ajax in the Conference League is an unusual sight, but the reality is that one of the Netherlands' biggest clubs has had to work their way into Europe's third-tier competition through qualifying. So far, they have been doing so convincingly: two rounds already cleared, and one step away from the group stage. In the first leg against Sion, Ajax were clearly the better side and won deservedly. They were particularly dominant in the second half, scoring all four of their goals after the break.
The start of the new season has generally been very promising. Ajax have played seven competitive matches without a defeat. There have been draws along the way, but the overall picture looks solid. They had no match last weekend, which gave them extra recovery time ahead of the second leg, so they come into this one fresh and in good shape.

Sion Team Overview
Like Ajax, Sion have made a positive impression in the early part of their season. Before facing the Dutch side, the Swiss club had lost just once - away to Young Boys in late July, 2-4. In their other matches they largely won, drawing on only a few occasions. The first leg against Ajax, however, showed that Sion currently lack the quality to compete against stronger opposition. They held their own in the first half and even led 1-0 at the break, but the defence fell apart after the interval, conceding four goals from five shots on target.
Sion also had extra rest ahead of the return leg, with a league match postponed to help the squad prepare for the European tie. So they should have the energy for a more adventurous and aggressive approach. The question is whether Ajax will allow them back into the tie.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
The first leg delivered exactly what was expected - an open, entertaining match with six goals. The second leg should follow a similar pattern. Ajax at home will likely look to impose themselves again, while Sion, facing a two-goal deficit, still have reason to believe in a comeback and will need to take risks. That scenario should create chances at both ends. We're backing Total Goals - Over 3.5 at 1.50*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
The first leg produced 12 corners between the two sides - a solid total, with Ajax earning seven and Sion five. With attacks expected to flow in both directions again, particularly given Sion's need to chase the tie, Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.90* is worth considering.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The first leg wasn't especially feisty - the two sides combined for just 17 fouls. Even so, the referee handed out five yellow cards, four of which went to Ajax players. If Sion look to hit on the counter in the second leg, the hosts may again resort to tactical fouls to stop them. On that basis, Ajax Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 1.5 is worth a look.
* Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers have Ajax as clear favourites for the second leg, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. If the Dutch side were that effective away from home, their attack should be at least as dangerous in front of their own fans. Sion, meanwhile, have nothing to lose - the Swiss side will be forced to push forward in numbers, take risks, and leave space in behind. That kind of scenario tends to produce goals. Our main bet is Total Goals - Over 3.5. Worth noting: at least four goals have been scored in 6 of Ajax's last 7 matches. Expected score: 3-1.
