Groningen vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | May 14th 2025
The Eredivisie returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Groningen and AFC Ajax Amsterdam lock horns at the Euroborg Stadion on Wednesday. Francesco Farioli’s men, who are on a run of six back-to-back victories over the hosts, will look to extend this dominant run and pull four points clear at the top of the table.
Groningen were sent crashing back to earth in their push for a top-half finish as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion last Sunday.
Before that, Dick Lukkien’s side snapped their run of three consecutive defeats on April 23 courtesy of a 4-1 victory over Heracles, two weeks before thrashing Waalwijk 6-1 on home turf.
Groningen have picked up 38 points from their 32 Eredivisie matches so far to sit 11th in the standings, one point behind ninth-placed Fortuna Sittard in the final Conference League playoff spot.
Ajax, on the other hand, continued to struggle for results at the business end of the season as they fell to a 3-0 loss against NEC Nijmegen at the Johan Cruijff Arena last time out.
Farioli’s men have failed to taste victory in their most recent three games, losing twice and claiming one draw, having won each of the three games preceding this run.
Despite their recent slump in form, Ajax remain on course to clinch a record 37th Eredivisie title as they sit top of the table, one point above second-placed PSV Eindhoven heading into the final two games.
