Ajax vs Groningen Predictions

• Ajax won each of their last 13 home H2H meetings, scoring 2+ goals in every game.
• Ajax won 12 of their 14 home league victories at both HT/FT last season.
• Groningen have not won a game of football since March (D1, L7).

The stage is set for Ajax to dominate

The Johan Cruijff ArenA awaits as Ajax welcome Groningen for their opening home league game of the 2022/23 campaign. Ajax’s record here last season was practically indomitable (W14, D1, L2) with 12 of those victories also seeing the Amsterdam outfit lead at half-time!

Ajax have already lost here this season to PSV in the Super Cup, though that is hardly comparable with a league clash against a side that they’ve defeated 13 times consecutively when they visit.

The new signings have already started to settle in as well, as Steven Bergwijn and Brian Brobbey have two goals and an assist between them after just two competitive games. The former used to play for Ajax, though recently re-signed from Leipzig in a permanent deal this summer.

Trouble’s brewing at Groningen

With a star striker who wants out and a shocking run of form, the recipe for disaster at Groningen is already starting to unfold. Sought-after Norwegian frontman Jorgen Strand Larsen has openly criticised the club to the media over rejected bids, so it remains to be seen whether their star man will feature here.

Either way, Groningen will be massively up against it and we quite simply can’t see them getting anything from this encounter. The only way to squeeze value from this match is to go down the handicap or HT/FT route and it is the latter with a better price this time.

As for the correct score, a comfortable 3-0 Ajax victory could be a likely outcome here.
