Vojvodina vs Ajax prediction, preview & betting tips

With their Europa League hopes dashed, Vojvodina will look to make a winning start to their Conference League qualifying campaign when they host Ajax at Karadjordje Stadium on Thursday.

While Vojvodina were unable to prevent Red Star Belgrade from claiming a ninth consecutive title, finishing second was a notable achievement and earned the Novi Sad-based club a place in the Europa League qualifiers.

As in 2017, 2020, and 2024, Miroslav Tanjga's side fell at the first hurdle, suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat to Hungarian side Ferencvaros and consequently dropping into the Conference League qualifiers.

The White-reds have now lost each of their last 10 European matches dating back to July 2021, highlighting their struggles on the continental stage in recent seasons.

Thursday's clash sees Vojvodina and Ajax meet again after their second-round Europa League qualifying tie two years ago, when the Dutch side prevailed in both legs for a commanding 4-1 aggregate win.

A 4-0 win over OFK Beograd in their league opener last time out set the right tone for Vojvodina ahead of their upcoming assignment, but they will need to raise their level against an established European side like Ajax.

Despite being in contention for a Champions League spot for much of last season, Ajax endured a disappointing end to their campaign, failing to win any of their final three matches and ultimately finishing fifth.

De Godenzonen then had to overcome Groningen and Utrecht to secure their place as the Eredivisie's representatives in the Conference League – a competition they have yet to feature in since its inception five years ago.

After losing his first pre-season fixture in charge, new manager Michel has since overseen two wins and a draw in the next three outings, lifting the mood ahead of his first competitive match.

However, Kasper Dolberg's injury is a major blow for Ajax, although summer signing Marcos Leonard will see it as an opportunity to quickly make an impression with the Amsterdam faithful.

Whispers predicts: Vojvodina 1-2 Ajax

Given the gulf in quality between the teams, Ajax are unsurprisingly 1/2 (1.50) favourites to get the win, and we fancy them to live up to expectations.

Five of the last six matches apiece for Vojvodina and Ajax have ended with under 10.5 corners, so a repeat of that at 4/5 (1.80) is on the cards here.

Overall, we predict a 2-1 Ajax win, priced at 15/2 (8.50).
