Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Ajax -1.5 Goals Handicap – 1.67
Ajax Win and Over 2.5 Goals
Ajax lost just one away game in 13 since the start of the season. In addition, Ajax’s last four matches saw over 2.5 goals. Also, in Groningen’s last three games, two or more goals were scored. Moreover, there is a 77% chance for an away win.
Ajax to Score in Both Halves
In the last eleven Eredivisie fixtures, Ajax scored in both halves. Additionally, while playing on the road, Ajax’s scored 15 times in the first half and 13 times in the second. On the other side, Groningen conceded 14 goals in both halves when they played at home this term.
Ajax -1.5 Goals Handicap
With a 78% winning rate in 27 fixtures in the Dutch league so far, Ajax are beating their opponents with big margins. In detail, in their ten away wins, Ajax won six times by a two or more goals margin.
Preliminary Review and Betting Tips for Groningen vs Ajax
Groningen are unbeaten in five games and with their last win over Utrecht, they registered their second win in a row. Defensively, the Pride of the North struggled this season and conceded in ten of their last 13 games in the league. At home, they have clean sheets in only 23% of their games.
It hasn’t been very impressive at the other end as well for manager Danny Buijs’s team. To illustrate, in front of their fans, Groningen managed to score on average just over one goal per game, 1.08. However, a huge confidence-boosting fact is that they beat Ajax in their last two meetings at the Euroborg.

— FC Groningen (@fcgroningen) March 28, 2022
Winning their last match against Feyenoord 3-2, Ajax extended their unbeaten streak to three games. Moreover, the Sons of the gods scored in all but one of their 13 away games. Having the best defense in the Eredivisie is Ajax’s main advantage over other teams as they conceded only 13 goals in 27 games.
To show their strong defense, Ajax had clean sheets in nine of their 13 away games. At the attacking third, boss Erik ten Hag must be content with his attack that scored 80 goals so far. Nonetheless, the only concern for ten Hag will be that they conceded in their last five games.
Groningen vs Ajax Prediction
Ajax’s all focus will be on winning the Eredivisie again this term after being eliminated from the Champions League. The bookies are offering odds of 1.22 for an Ajax win and we will back that but combine it with over 2.5 goals to obtain better odds.
Safe Bet
Eight times in their last ten games, Groningen were able to score while playing at home. Moreover, in 23% of home games, Groningen lost to nil. Hence, we predict for the Pride of the North to be able to score in this match which has odds of 1.82.
Quick Rich
Erik ten Hag will be aware of the fact that his team lost in their last two visits to Groningen. Thus we expect Ajax to be more cautious and decisive at the same time and predict a close win for the visitors. A 1-2 correct score win is our prediction for our quick rich bet with odds of 9.50 at Vbet.
Groningen vs Ajax First Goalscorer
Sebastien Haller is Ajax’s and Eredivisie’s top scorer with 20 goals. In all competitions, the Ivory Coast player has 34 strikes and ten assists. Moreover, in six fixtures in the league, Haller was the first goalscorer and we will back him to repeat that feat again in Euroborg on Saturday.
