This is the first game of the Eredivisie season, so as things currently stand, every team is on 0 points. Last season, however, Telstar finished 7th in the Eerste Divisie—the second division in Dutch football—and got promoted via the play-offs.
Ajax, on the other hand, finished second in the Eredivisie. It was a hard, painful season for them, after they lost and drew numerous games in the last 10 matches, costing them the title and handing it to their rivals
The two sides have faced off multiple times in their history, yet Ajax have only lost twice. Once in 1964—also the first ever game played between the two sides—and ten years later in 1974.
