Dutch giants Ajax have established early dominance in the Eredivisie and will be hoping to open up a good gap against second placed PSV when they host struggling Groningen. Ajax go to this game placed top of the standings with 16 points while Groningen have five points in 14th place. Ajax have five straight wins; they are coming from a 5-0 win over Fortuna Sittard and have scored at least five goals in four of their last five matches. Sebastian Haller has been their most prolific player, with seven goals in the last four matches. At home, they have three straight clean sheets in the league and have scored 19 goals in those three games. They are unbeaten in 14 league games at home, winning 12 and in their last eight meetings with Groningen, Ajax have won six.

Groningen have no win in their last five matches ahead of this, they are coming from a 1-0 loss to Vitesse, their second straight loss and third in four matches. The visitors have managed just one clean sheet in their six matches this season, and have one win in the six league games. They haven’t done so well defensively; in the six league games, they have conceded 10 goals and have only won three of the last 17 matches in Eredivisie. In the last eight league matches alone, Groningen have five losses and away from home in the league, they’ve posted seven losses in 10. They have beaten Ajax in two of their last three meetings and they would wish for the same here, but it will take a big shocker in their form for that to happen.
