FC Groningen - Ajax betting tips and odds

FC Groningen are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 12.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Ajax. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Most bookies and expert opinions agree that Ajax should record a decisive victory here. It’s a fairly one-sided matchup overall, and they are hard favourites despite playing as the away team.

The host are coming off from a morale-boosting Go Ahead Eagles draw. Why morale-boosting? Because FC Groningen were given close to zero per cent chances of getting anything from their last trip. However, a draw at halftime and the end (Go Ahead Eagles) make for a very good result overall.

Ajax are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Eredivisie game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 6.30 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 0:0 draw.

FC Groningen have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

Ajax recorded 7 goals in all 3 of their latest home games. While they don’t have the home-field advantage in this match, an action-packed match seems very likely.

Ajax took the home win last time they clashed with FC Groningen, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in Sportpark Lonerstraat.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Ahmetcan Kaplan, Kian Fitz-Jim, Naci Ünüvar due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, P. Abraham, Michael Verrips, Liam Van Gelderen, Thijmen Blokzijl, Jetro Willems have also reported injuries.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.47, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
