Groningen will hope to take advantage of Ajax’s recent run of form with a win on Sunday in the matchday nine fixture of the Eredivisie campaign. This match at Euroborg between the sixth-placed ‘Pride of the North’ and the fifth-placed ‘Lancers’ could turn out to be a difficult game for the visitors. Our match prediction is Groningen to win or draw.

With 14 points (W4, D2, L2), Groningen are five points behind third but are only three points above eighth. Ajax have 15 points (W4, D3, L1) and are marginally better than their hosts.

Groningen thrashed Excelsior 5-1 away from home last weekend to make it two wins in a row in the league. These results meant Groningen are unbeaten in their last four league fixtures (W2, D2), which helped them bounce back from back-to-back defeats towards the end of August.

Home record is still indifferent, though, as Groningen have won only two of their four league fixtures here (W2, D1, L1).

Ajax were beaten 2-1 at Hajduk Split on Thursday in the UEFA Conference League game, keeping them winless in three matches (D2, L1). Both those draws have come in a row in the league, where they were held to a 1-1 home draw against Nijmegen last time.

Despite those setbacks, Ajax have been impeccable on the road, winning all three away league games.

Our Groningen vs Ajax Prediction

Just one point separates these sides, who remain outside the top three, and the loser of this fixture could fall further back in that race. Groningen have revived their campaign with consecutive wins after failing to win four in a row. Ajax have also drawn their last two in the league, and the defeat in the Conference League fixture could be a blow to their momentum.

Groningen have avoided defeat in two of their last three matches against Ajax, and that could again be the case here. Our Groningen vs Ajax prediction is Groningen or draw.
