Aktobe W vs Ajax Prediction 30 September 2026
🔊 Aktobe and Ajax meet on 30 September in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the Women's European Cup. The tie is effectively over after the first leg in Amsterdam, where the Dutch side won 8-0. Aktobe now face their home match with nothing riding on the result, while Ajax can approach it in a more relaxed manner. The Amsterdam side come into the game on the back of another heavy win in the league, this time over ADO Den Haag.
The first leg highlighted the difference between the teams.
The two sides had never met before their September fixture, so that single head-to-head encounter immediately became the key reference point. Ajax were in complete control throughout, scoring five goals before half-time and extending their lead to 8-0 in the second half. Ella Touon was particularly prominent, completing a hat-trick, while Katja Snoeijs scored twice.
The statistics reflect total Dutch dominance: 79% possession, 10 corners to their opponents' one, and just a single yellow card. Aktobe were barely able to get out of their own half and created nothing close to a comparable attacking threat across the entire match.
Head-to-head statistics Aktobe W - Ajax
Aktobe will need to play with more attacking intent.
For the hosts, the second leg is a chance to at least partially make up for the 0-8 defeat. In the Kazakh league in September, the team managed to beat Okzhetpes 6-0 and Zheinis 2-0, so at domestic level Aktobe are capable of regularly putting serious pressure on opponents. However, the gap between the national league and European competition was made plain in the first match.
The hosts' main aim is at least not to repeat the pattern of the first game. In Amsterdam, Aktobe allowed their opponents to control the ball completely and created almost no threat on goal. Home advantage should encourage the Kazakh side to be more adventurous this time, but if they do open up, the space in behind their defensive line could become an additional problem.

Ajax show no signs of slowing down
After that opening thrashing, the Amsterdam side continued to score freely. On 26 September they beat ADO Den Haag 7-1, and before that they had also won 5-1 against AZ Alkmaar in the league. Across their last three official matches, Ajax have scored 20 goals.
The team's main strength remains their squad depth and ability to create chances in a variety of ways. In the first leg against Aktobe, the goals came from Snuijs, Touon, Daniëlle Noordermeer and Jade van Hensbergen, while captain Sherida Spitse converted a penalty. The coaching staff were already making substitutions freely after the break, so some rotation can be expected in the return fixture.

🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The first match produced just three bookings between the two sides: Ajax received one yellow card and Aktobe two. Despite Ajax's dominant territorial control, the game never turned into a physical, foul-heavy contest. Now that the tie is effectively settled, there should be even less pressure on both teams. On that basis, Total Yellow Cards - Under 3.5 looks the logical option here.
⚽ Goals Prediction
The first leg ended 8-0, and Ajax then scored another seven goals against ADO Den Haag. With such a commanding aggregate lead, the Dutch side's motivation in the second leg will not be as high, and they will almost certainly allow themselves to play more conservatively. Aktobe, for their part, should be bolder at home than they were in Amsterdam.
A repeat scoreline of 8-0 is not to be expected, but even with rotation Ajax retain a fairly high attacking potential. The main selection is Total Goals - Over 3.5.
🚩 Corners Prediction
In the first leg, Ajax dominated territorially and won the corners 10-1. The majority of their attacks came through positional pressure, which naturally led to crosses, blocks and set pieces.
The second leg may be less one-sided, but the home side will need to come out of defence more often and leave more space for Ajax's attacks. If the Dutch side again hold possession for long periods, the number of deliveries and blocked shots should remain high. That makes Total Corners - Over 8.5 an interesting option here.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The gap between these two sides was already laid bare in the first match, when Ajax won comfortably and gave their opponents virtually no chance to create dangerous moments. Since then, the Amsterdam side have continued their scoring run, so there is no reason to talk about a dip in form.
That said, a repeat of the eight-goal thrashing is not a foregone conclusion: such a commanding lead from the first leg allows Ajax to approach this game more calmly and rotate their squad. The difference in class remains so large, however, that the visitors should again create enough chances to score several goals.
The main bet is Aktobe with a handicap (+4.5). Predicted score: Aktobe 0-4 Ajax.
