Ajax vs AS Monaco Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendly 2025

This will be the first encounter between these clubs.

Ajax Amsterdam are all set to face AS Monaco in a pre-season club friendly game. The interesting fixture between these clubs is scheduled to take place at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Ajax will be at home and will be keen on using it to their advantage. They have been a part of a few friendly games now, and they have done well. However, they faced a setback recently when they fell prey to the Serie A side Como.

It was a lacklustre effort by AFC Ajax. They conceded three goals and were able to score none.

AS Monaco continue to perform well in their pre-season run. They are coming in after taking down Torino in their previous club friendly game. Monaco defeated Torino twice, and that too with ease.

They will now be looking to secure another win.

Players to Watch

Davy Klaassen (Ajax)

The 32-year-old Dutchman is going to play a crucial part both in the midfield and in the attacking front. Even though Davy Klaassen failed to score a goal in the last game, he remains an important asset for the team. It will be interesting to see how he performs against the Ligue 1 giants.

Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco)

Folarin Balogun is going to play an important role in the final third. The 24-year-old from the United States has scored two goals in the last two games for his team. He can once again become an issue for the opponent’s defence.
