Ajax - FC Groningen predictions

Best bookmaker online do not see past Ajax in this game and we wholeheartedly agree. The betting odds work largely in their favour and there is a good reason for it. FC Groningen will have extremely difficult time running away with anything from this match.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact FC Groningen are given 9.08 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The last performance we saw from Ajax must be good for their confidence, even if everyone saw the 0:2 away win coming. A relaxed first half might be a warning sign but it still led into a crushing defeat for RKC Waalwijk in the second period.

The away team’s previous league match was a home game, but the home fans’ support wasn’t enough to turn the tide. Entering the game as close underdogs, FC Groningen struggled to press their advantage for more than half the match and proceeded to concede in the second half and lose the game 0:1.

Ajax have managed to bag 8 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Sportpark De Wachtelenberg are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Ajax are doing relatively fine in this season of the Eredivisie, but there is definitely room for improvement. They are number 5th in the standings, though the season is just starting to heat up.

This upcoming game will be an uphill battle for home, so they’ll probably want to use the rest of the season to climb up from their current table position at 9th. After all, we’re still only at round 8, so they’ll probably have better opportunities to earn some points.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
