Ajax Resumes Eredivisie Season with Match Against Telstar

The winter break has concluded, and Ajax is set to commence the second half of the Eredivisie season with an away match against Telstar. Last week, the Amsterdam club gained confidence by securing a 4-0 victory in a friendly match against RFC Seraing. Head coach Fred Grim utilized this match to provide nearly all players with game time. The question now is, which eleven players will he field this weekend?

**Predicted Lineup for Ajax Against Telstar**

Under Grim’s leadership, Ajax had been enjoying a successful streak prior to the winter break, winning five out of their last six matches, with the only point dropped being a draw against NEC (2-2). Ajax carried this positive momentum into the match against RFC Seraing, a team from Belgium’s second division, with goals scored by Sean Steur, Don-Angelo Konadu, Kenneth Taylor, and Mika Godts. Additionally, Lucas Jetten and Avery Appiah made their unofficial debuts for the first team.

Grim has already identified a replacement for Kenneth Taylor. The lineup will largely mirror the one used in the last match of 2025 against NEC. Vitezslav Jaros will be the goalkeeper, while Ko Itakura is preferred over Josip Sutalo and Aaron Bouwman to form a central defensive partnership with Youri Baas. Anton Gaaei will play as the right-back, and it appears Grim will once again opt for Lucas Rosa on the left side, replacing Owen Wijndal.

**Kasper Dolberg Back in Prime Condition**

Ajax has faced a considerable challenge in the attacking front due to the absence of Kasper Dolberg, but the 28-year-old Danish striker is now back in top form. Dolberg completed a full ninety minutes against NEC for the first time this season and is expected to start against Telstar. On the right flank, Grim will likely select Oscar Gloukh, who, despite being signed as a ‘number 10’, has been playing from the right in recent matches.

**Predicted Ajax Lineup Against Telstar (4-3-3)**

Jaros; Gaaei, Itakura, Baas, Rosa; Regeer, Klaassen, Steur; Gloukh, Dolberg, Godts.
