Real Madrid W host Ajax W in Madrid on 2 September 2026 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Women 3rd Qualifying Round tie.

Real Madrid W vs Ajax W Key Matchups

L. Beerensteyn vs J. Smits

With no specific goal or assist tallies provided for individual players, the focus shifts to profiles and roles. For Real Madrid W, L. Beerensteyn (attacker, 29) is a natural reference point in the final third. Her pace and direct running fit well with Real Madrid W’s 4-2-3-1 structure, which they have already used once in this campaign. She will be key in exploiting space behind an Ajax W defence that has conceded in two of their three matches.

On the Ajax W side, J. Smits (attacker, 25, number 10) stands out as a central attacking figure. In a team that averages 1.3 goals per match, the number 10 role is crucial for linking play and providing a goal threat. Ajax W’s best results so far include a 2-0 win at home, and Smits’ positioning between the lines will be vital if they are to break down a Real Madrid W back line that has yet to concede in Europe this season.

S. Toletti vs S. Spitse

In midfield, the battle between S. Toletti (Real Madrid W, midfielder, 30) and S. Spitse (Ajax W, defender by designation but with clear leadership qualities, 35) could define the rhythm of the match. Toletti brings experience and control in the centre of the pitch, helping Real Madrid W maintain possession and protect their aggregate lead.

Spitse, wearing number 8, is a veteran presence for Ajax W and often instrumental in build-up and set-piece situations. Ajax W have scored in multiple time windows (0–15, 16–30, 61–75, 76–90), which suggests they can threaten throughout the 90 minutes. Spitse’s distribution and organisation from deeper areas will be essential if Ajax W are to sustain pressure and find the goals they need.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

These sides have only recently crossed paths in UEFA Champions League Women qualifying, but the first leg already provided a strong indication of the balance between them.

Real Madrid W vs Ajax W Prediction

Stats suggest Real Madrid W come into the second leg with a strong platform. They lead 2-0 on aggregate, have yet to concede in this Champions League Women campaign, and showed in the first leg that they can control Ajax W away from home. Their tournament form line is a clean “W”, with averages of 2.0 goals scored and 0.0 conceded per match.

Ajax W, however, should not be dismissed. Their broader qualifying run reads “WWL”, with 4 goals scored and 3 conceded across 3 matches. They have demonstrated they can score in different phases of games and have one clean sheet of their own. The predictions model gives Real Madrid W a 45% chance of winning the match, the draw also at 45%, and Ajax W just 10%, highlighting how difficult the comeback looks on paper.

Given Real Madrid W’s defensive solidity, the aggregate cushion, and the relatively balanced probabilities between a home win and a draw, this second leg is likely to be controlled by the hosts. They do not need to chase the game and can manage tempo, while Ajax W must open up more, which could leave space for counters but also make a low-scoring outcome plausible.

Predicted Score: Real Madrid W 1-0 Ajax W

Real Madrid W Recent Form

In Champions League Women action this season, Real Madrid W’s recent form is excellent: one match, one win, and a 2-0 scoreline away from home. Their last-five record in the competition shows a perfect defensive output so far, with 2 goals scored and none conceded. The team has also shown an ability to score in different phases, with goals coming in the 31–45 and 61–75 minute ranges in their only match.

Ajax W Recent Form

Ajax W arrive with a “WWL” run in this Champions League Women qualifying campaign. Across 3 matches, they have 2 wins and 1 defeat, scoring 4 and conceding 3. Their attack has been consistent, finding the net in early (0–15, 16–30) and late (61–75, 76–90) periods, while defensively they have conceded in the 31–45, 61–75 and 76–90 ranges. The loss to Real Madrid W, however, is their most recent result and highlights the challenge they face at this higher level.

Real Madrid W Possible Starting Lineup

Possible key players (4-2-3-1 base): M. Frohms (GK); J. Levels, M. Lakrar, S. Holmgaard, María Méndez (defenders); F. Angeldahl, S. Toletti, S. Däbritz, Andreia Jacinto, Athenea del Castillo (midfielders/attacking midfielders); L. Beerensteyn (attacker). Other options include L. Caicedo, Eva Navarro, L. Keukelaar and P. Comendador in attacking roles.

Real Madrid W used a 4-2-3-1 formation in their only Champions League Women match so far this season, and there is every reason to expect a similar shape here. With a two-goal aggregate lead, the emphasis will likely be on a solid double pivot in midfield, full-backs who pick their moments to advance, and wide forwards such as Athenea del Castillo and Beerensteyn offering counter-attacking threat. The presence of experienced midfielders like Toletti and Däbritz gives the hosts control and composure in possession.

Ajax W Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players (4-2-3-1 base): L. Nienhuis (GK); D. Noordermeer, E. Touon, A. Visscher, L. van Oosten (defenders); S. Spitse, N. Buikema, D. Noordman, J. van de Velde, F. Verkooijen (midfielders/attacking midfielders); J. Smits (attacker). Additional attacking options include D. Tolhoek, B. Van Egmond, R. Derks and I. Dostmohamed.

Ajax W have also lined up in a 4-2-3-1 at least once in this campaign. Chasing the tie, they may push their full-backs higher and rely on Spitse’s distribution to switch play and find advanced runners. The front four around Smits must be more incisive than in the first leg, where Ajax W failed to score and eventually conceded twice. With only one clean sheet in three matches, balancing attacking ambition with defensive security will be a delicate task.

Betting Tips: Real Madrid W vs Ajax W

Below are three betting angles based on current statistics and prediction probabilities. Note that no specific pre-match odds are available in the data, so suggested markets are qualitative rather than price-driven.

• Result Tip: Back Real Madrid W in the “Draw No Bet” or “Double Chance: Real Madrid W or Draw” market. The prediction model gives the hosts a 45% chance of winning and a 45% chance of drawing, with Ajax W at just 10%. Combined with Real Madrid W’s 2-0 away win in the first leg and their perfect defensive record so far, covering the home side not to lose looks a strong position.
• Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. Real Madrid W’s only match finished 2-0, and Ajax W’s three games have all stayed under 3.5 goals, with their goals for and against averages at 1.3 and 1.0 respectively. With Real Madrid W protecting a lead and Ajax W needing to be cautious about conceding an away goal, a relatively controlled, low- to medium-scoring match is the likelier scenario.
• Value Tip: Real Madrid W to keep a clean sheet. The Spanish side have yet to concede in this Champions League Women campaign and have shown strong defensive metrics, including a clean sheet away from home. Ajax W have failed to score in one of their three matches (the first leg against Real Madrid W), and with the hosts able to sit in a compact shape, backing another Real Madrid W shutout could offer value where odds allow.
