Inter Milan have suffered two recent defeats to Udinese and Juventus, despite outperforming both teams statistically and creating more scoring chances. With their high expected goals (xG), a strong comeback is anticipated as they prepare to face Ajax. Ajax, in turn, have already slipped in two out of five Eredivisie games, signaling vulnerability. Key takeaway: Inter Milan is poised for recovery and Ajax will need to improve their consistency to avoid another setback.

Ajax vs Inter Milan Preview 


Inter Milan are having a rough start to the new season, losing two out of three Serie A games where they had higher xG than opponents. I will back them to bounce back against Ajax who are also underperforming in Eredivisie.

Stats 


  • Ajax are winless in 6 of their last 12 matches (Eredivisie). 
  • Ajax have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches. 
  • Inter Milan have won 2 of their last 3 matches against Ajax. 
  • Inter Milan have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches. 

HTH 


Inter Milan have a 4-2 advantage against Ajax with 2 draws in 8 matches. 

They last met in August 2008, the game being won by Inter Milan 1-0. 

Ajax Form  


Ajax started the new season under new leadership, John Heitinga being appointed head manager earlier this summer, but had a couple of slip ups already. 

The Amsterdam side has been struggling on the road in Eredivisie. After beating Telstar 2-0 in the first round, they drawn at Go Ahead Eagles 2-2. 

A similar scenario was seen in late August, a 2-0 home win over Heracles followed by a 1-1 road draw at Volendam. 

Ajax returned from the international break with a 3-1 home victory against Zwolle last weekend, Mika Godts starring with two goals, Davy Klaassen also on target. 

Inter Milan Form 


Inter Milan have also been underperforming under new manager Christian Chivu in the new season, securing just three points from their opening three league games. 

Nerazzurri kicked things off with a commanding 5-0 home victory against Torino but then suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Udinese also at Guiseppe Meazza. 

Chivu’s side had a 3-2 lead against Juventus in Torino last weekend for more than 80 minutes, Hakan Calhanoglu scoring twice, Marcus Thuram also on the scoresheet, but conceded two late goals and lost 4-3. 

Team News 


Ajax will be without services of Branco van den Boomen who is recovering from back injury, while Aaron Bouwman is also sidelined due to a knock. 

Inter Milan have no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of this clash. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Ajax: Jaros, Rosa, Itakura, Baas, Wijndal, Taylor, Fitz-Jim, Moro, Berghuis, Gloukh, Weghorst 

Inter Milan: Sommer, Acerbi, Bisseck, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Sucic, Calhanoglu, Dimarco, Martinez, Thuram 

Verdict

Inter Milan undeservedly lost their last two games to Udinese and Juventus in my opinion, having higher xG and missing plenty of chances. I expect them to bounce back against Ajax who already slipped twice in five Eredivisie rounds.
