More markets for the Eredivisie game, scheduled for August 16 at 10:45 AM ET.
Ajax enter their 2026-27 Eredivisie opener as heavy favorites against mid-table Heerenveen at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, where historical head-to-head results show Ajax dominating with frequent clean sheets and high goal tallies. After finishing fifth in 2025-26 and parting ways with coach Oscar Garcia, Ajax seek improved consistency under new leadership, while Heerenveen aim to exploit any early-season rust. Recent form, home advantage, and squad depth favor Ajax, though the visitors have shown resilience in away fixtures and could threaten on the counter if Ajax's attack lacks sharpness. No major confirmed injuries alter the outlook ahead of the August 16 kickoff.
