Ajax vs Rangers Prediction 13.07.2024

• Competition: Friendly
• Date: 13.07.2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CEST
• Venue: Sportpark Mulderssingel

Ajax has been preparing for the new season for a few weeks, and about seven days ago they played their first test match, losing 1 to 0 to underdog Zwolle. After that, they beat the Belgian St. Truiden, convincingly 4-0 and somehow redeemed themselves for the first defeat. Coach Farioli has a big job ahead of him, a kind of rebuilding that is happening after one of the worst seasons in the club's history. Two more test matches are on the schedule and this one against Rangers is the most difficult challenge so far.

Philippe Clement will have his first full season at his disposal after being hired in October last season. Rangers were breathing down the neck of their biggest rival Celtic for a long time, but they were short by 8 points in the end. For Rangers, the series of test friendly matches starts right now with a duel against Ajax. The matches against Hearts and the 3rd round of Champions League qualification in 3 weeks will be the first official matches for this club in Glasgow.

Ajax vs Rangers pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

It should be expected that both coaches give a chance to some players from the academy as well as the latest reinforcements. The result is secondary, but it's not nice to lose to such a big rival on both sides. Two years ago Ajax humiliated Rangers by beating them in two matches 3-1 and 4-0. Ajax is a bit weaker now than it was then, Rangers have announced something. We expect motivated players on both sides, eager for a good competition, goals on both sides seems like a good betting option
