Ajax vs Cambuur Prediction
Ajax will be happy with the amount of money they have received from player sales this summer, although manager Alfred Schreuder might have different views. Ajax have clearly decided to begin a new era under Schreuder's management, with many of last season's stars, including Antony, Lisandro Martinez, Ryan Gravenberch and Sebastien Haller having left the club.
Cambuur, on the other hand, finished ninth last season, and have won one game out of their first four league games so far. Robert Uldrikis could prove to be crucial.
We expect Ajax to win this game.
Prediction: Ajax 3-0 Cambuur
