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.
