1.25Ajax to win10

On Sunday afternoon, Groningen hosts Ajax at the Euroborg in an Eredivisie game that could be massive for the visitor's Champions League hopes.

Groningen form guide

The home team has already suffered relegation from the Eredivisie and currently sits in 17th place in the Dutch top-flight table. An eight-game winless run in the Eredivisie sealed Dennis van der Ree’s team’s relegation. A 1-1 draw at Go Ahead Eagles last time out in the Eredivisie ended a seven-game losing streak in the league.

One of the main reasons for Groningen’s relegation is their poor home record in the Eredivisie, as they have won just one of their last nine home matches, having suffered three straight home matches in the Dutch top-flight.

Ajax form guide

The reigning Dutch champions have endured a poor campaign in the Eredivisie, as the visitors currently sit in third place in the league in the Europa League spots. However, they are five points adrift of second-place PSV Eindhoven, who occupies the Champions League qualifier spots.

Johnny Heitinga’s team has been inconsistent lately, winning just two of their previous six Eredivisie matches. Their recent league games have produced over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven matches.

Ajax’s recent form in away games in the Dutch top flight has been mixed, although a 3-0 defeat at PSV Eindhoven on their travels in the Eredivisie ended a ten-game unbeaten run.

The defeat in Eindhoven continued a high-scoring trend for Ajax on their travels in the Eredivisie, as five of their last six games have produced over 2.5 goals.

Latest team news

Groningen will be without full-back Jetro Willems through injury. Michael Verrips, Liam Van Gelderen, Thijmen Blokzijl and Paulos Abraham are also doubts for the home side.

Ajax have Steven Berghuis and Kian Fitz-Jim missing due to injuries, while Ahmetcan Kaplan is a fitness doubt.

What am I backing?

This game means very little to Groningen, so I am going to back the visitors to record a victory.
