Over 3.5 Goals
Ajax continue to look a cut above the rest in the Netherlands and the champions dished out another beating in midweek, this time trouncing a hapless Fortuna Sittard outfit 5-0 on Tuesday. de Godenzonen have now scored a remarkable 27 times in just six Eredivisie fixtures this season and four of their six assignments so far have produced over 3.5 goals. Ajax will expect to tear Groningen to shreds on Saturday and the over 3.5 line appeals once again as a result.
Ajax -2 Goals
Erik ten Hag’s free-wheeling Ajax have attacked with unrelenting ferocity in recent weeks and they hit the net a staggering 21 times in their last four matches alone in all competitions. The champions have yet to concede a league goal in Amsterdam this term and they have covered the -2 handicap comfortably in each of first three fixtures there since the summer. Expect them to repeat that trick on Saturday.
Ajax to Win to Nil
Ajax have won each of their last four Eredivisie assignments to nil and their dominance in the Netherlands is such, that we expect a fifth clean sheet on the bounce along with another three points for the title holders on Saturday. Groningen are on a five-match winless run and their 1.0 goal per game average for the campaign so far suggests they lack the quality up top to trouble their hosts in Amsterdam.
Ajax vs Groningen: Match Preview
Ajax team news
Davy Klaassen is inching towards a return for Ajax, however, Saturday’s game might come too soon for him. Fellow midfielder Sean Klaiber will hope to be back in contention, though veteran keeper Maarten Stekelenburg could miss out. Ajax steamrollered Fortuna Sittard in midweek in a 5-0 rout where fit-again Mohammed Kudus marked his comeback with a goal from the bench.
Groningen team news
Laros Duarte is considered doubtful once again for Groningen and manager Danny Buijs will also be without suspended pair Daniel van Kaam and Mike te Wierik following their dismissals last time out. Groningen haven’t won an Eredivisie fixture since their 2-1 win at Cambuur on the campaign’s opening weekend and the Pride of the North haven’t avoided defeat against Ajax in Amsterdam since a 2-2 draw back in 2007.
