Ajax to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
Ajax are on a nine-match winning streak in the Eredivisie dating back to 22 December 2021. In addition, Ajax’s last eight home matches produced over 2.5 goals as did Groningen’s 71% of their away games last season.
Ajax -2 Goal Handicap
Last season, Ajax’s 11 of their 14 home wins ended with three or goal margins. Also, Ajax covered the -2 goal handicap in eight if their 14 matches against the bottom seven clubs on the Eredivisie table.
Ajax to Score the Third Goal
11 of Ajax’s last 12 fixtures in the Eredivisie produced three or more goals. With that in mind, Ajax scored the third goal in six of those matches. Groningen meanwhile conceded the third goal in five of their last seven matches in the league.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Ajax vs Groningen
Reigning champions Ajax secured their record 36th Eredivise title last season after winning 26 of their 34 fixtures. Ajax are the Netherlands’ most successful club with 20 KNVB Cups in addition to their league titles and are the only Dutch team to have won the Champions League/ European Cup.
In their opening match of the season, new coach Alfred Schreuder had a little score as his team conceded first in contrast to the match’s proceedings. However, Ajax turned the table on Sittard in the second half scoring three times in 13 minutes to secure a hard win on the road in their start for their title defense.
Groningen meanwhile gave away a 2-0 lead over Volendam that they managed in the first 34 minutes. It was a tough way to end the match as the Pride of the North ended up picking up a point instead of the three that think they deserved.
To point out, coach Frank Wormuth’s team was the better side in all departments. They had 58% of ball possession and 18 goal attempts. Also, with the number of attacks in favor of Groningen by 104-92, Wormuth must focus on being able to maintain a lead once they have it.
Ajax clear favorites to record a second win
This will be a very easy match for Ajax according to the bookies as they are backing the champions to win with odds of 1.17. Thus in order to have a better return for our stake, we will combine the Ajax win with over 2.5 total goals which has a big probability.
'Eén van de mooiste cups, ja!' 😍
