Ajax have produced mixed form over recent weeks, winning two, drawing two, and losing two of their last six league matches.<\/p>\n

In their previous five outings, they scored eight goals while conceding five.<\/p>\n

Away victories against NAC Breda and Heracles showed the attacking quality still available within the squad, but home defeats against Utrecht and Twente exposed lingering defensive vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

The draw against PSV also highlighted their ability to compete with stronger teams despite inconsistent results.<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/a><\/p>\n

At home, Ajax have won five of their last ten league matches and remain difficult to beat against sides outside the top six.<\/p>\n

Several players continue to stand out for the Amsterdam club.<\/p>\n

Mika Godts has enjoyed an impressive campaign with 17 league goals and 11 assists, while Steven Berghuis and Wout Weghorst provide additional creativity and experience in attack.<\/p>\n

Ajax will, however, be missing goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, young stopper Joeri Heerkens, defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, and midfielder Kenneth Fitz-Jim through injury concerns.<\/p>\n

Groningen head into this fixture after back-to-back league victories against NEC Nijmegen and Heracles.<\/p>\n

Across their last five matches, they scored seven goals and conceded seven, demonstrating attacking promise but limited defensive stability.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/a><\/p>\n

Away form has remained inconsistent, with four defeats in their previous seven road matches despite wins against Telstar and Heracles.<\/p>\n

Groningen\u2019s attack has relied heavily on Thom van Bergen, who has scored nine goals this season, while Younes Taha and El Idrissi has contributed eight assists from midfield areas.<\/p>\n

In terms of squad availability, Groningen are missing defender Stije Resink and striker Oskar Zawada, reducing options at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Even so, the visitors have shown resilience in recent weeks and will likely approach this game with confidence after their recent turnaround in form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ajax have produced mixed form over recent weeks, winning two, drawing two, and losing two of their last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[101],"tags":[749,199,46918,46919,20967,200],"class_list":["post-88163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-amsterdam","tag-ajax","tag-amsterdam","tag-betting-guide","tag-betting-tips","tag-groningen","tag-netherlands"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116611378551488017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
