Stuttgart vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | 5th January 2025 

Stuttgart and Ajax clash at the Robert-Schlienz-Stadion for a club friendly on Sunday. Both sides are looking to blow away the cobwebs in the fixture before resuming their 2024-25 campaigns in the following week.

It has been a difficult year for the German home side domestically, as they sit in 10th position in the Bundesliga table with only 23 points from 15 games and just six wins in the bag.

Die Roten's last fixture before heading into the winter break resulted in a 1-0 defeat to St. Pauli on home turf, which ended their four-game unbeaten run in the competition.

As their league season reconvenes on 15 January against RB Leipzig at home, Sebastian Hoeness' side will enter the friendly game on Sunday looking to prepare for the return of their domestic schedule.

As for Ajax, the Amsterdam outfit continue their bid for a 37th Eredivisie title at home to Waalwijk next weekend. They are currently six points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven in second, and will be looking to remain on their coattails as the title race enters its second half.

For the first time this season, De Godenzonen also play a friendly game outside of the Netherlands, as that's where all their summer friendlies took place. This also remains their only mid-season friendly of the 2024-25 campaign.


Stuttgart vs Ajax Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

  • Interestingly, Stuttgart and Ajax Amsterdam have never met in a competitive game before.
  • De Godenzonen have won their last three official clashes in all competitions (keeping a clean sheet in each of them too), having gone the previous three without one.
  • Stuttgart's 1-0 loss to St. Pauli ended a run of four consecutive wins and five unbeaten matches.

Stuttgart vs Ajax Prediction

Given that it is only a friendly, we expect both teams to field a weakened lineup, with key players likely to come on in the second half as part of massive rotations to offer game time to as many players as possible.

Stuttgart will be relying on their home support here to get them through, but given their rivals' stature, quality and experience, we're going with Ajax Amsterdam for a narrow victory.

Prediction: Stuttgart 0-2 Ajax Amsterdam
