Ajax - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

It’s quite easy to predict that Ajax will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

FC Groningen are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Ajax.

Ajax are still reeling from a blow last week at PSV , even though they managed to narrowly avoid a complete loss by equalising in the second half and registering a 1:1 stalemate. They spent most of their time on the back foot, despite the fact that most experts predicted them to take home three points.

FC Groningen are coming on the back of a narrow 1:0 home win against Fortuna Sittard in the previous round of the Eredivisie. The odds were in their favour from the get-go, though, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 2.22.

Ajax have managed to bag 7 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Sportpark De Wachtelenberg are expecting a lot of action this time around.

FC Groningen hadn’t conceded a single goal over the course of their latest 3 home games. Even though they’ll be playing as visitors this time around, Both Teams to Score and Home Win bets don’t seem like a good idea for the time being.

With a loss to FC Groningen on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Eredivisie match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

FC Groningen will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Ahmed El Messaoudi, Azor Matusiwa, Arjen Robben will all be unable to perform.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.95. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
