Groningen vs Ajax

It is a must-win game for Ajax as they travel to Groningen for a midweek Dutch Eredivisie fixture.

A string of recent stumbles means the visitors are now feeling the pressure form champions PSV Eindhoven. They will be counting on their solid record in this fixture and should have the upper hand over the hosts. 

Groningen Form


Groningen are not ending the season on a stellar note as they head into this clash winless in five of their last seven matches. They have suffered four defeats in that run and were beaten 3-0 by AZ Alkmaar in their previous fixture.

The good news for Groningen is that they often do some of their best work at home and are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches at Euroborg. However, a poor record against the top sides means a 3-1 defeat to champions PSV is also among their recent results in front of their fans.

The goals often flow freely at home for Groningen, who have scored in their last seven home matches. However, Dick Lukkien’s team have failed to keep a clean sheet five times in that run while the last three fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Ajax Form


Ajax are coming off a shock 3-0 home defeat to NEC in their previous Eredivisie fixture. Francesco Farioli’s team appear to have picked a wrong time to suffer a dip in form as that result means they are now winless in their last three matches. 

That slump means Ajax are now looking wobbly at the top of the table, with champions PSV Eindhoven just one point off the pace. The good news is that they have been solid on their recent travels, winning seven of their last eight Eredivisie away matches.

Despite that slump, Ajax are still among the leading scorers in the league and have scored in seven of their last eight away matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in their last five fixtures, four of which have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Head to Head


Ajax often get the better of Groningen and have won the last six matches. The visitors claimed a 3-1 home victory in the reverse fixture back in December and also triumphed 3-2 on their last visit to Euroborg.

Verdict

Given their recent stumbles, Ajax need to make a statement on Wednesday and get things back on track. They have a good record in their event travels and having also won the last six matches against Groningen, should have the upper hand here.
 
It is always an open contest in this fixture, with both teams scoring in five of their last six meetings, which have produced over 2.5 goals. This clash is expected to offer up a similar outcome.
