Groningen vs Ajax prediction and betting tips on May 14, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 33rd round of the Dutch Eredivisie, a match between Groningen and Ajax will take place on May 14, 2025. The hosts still have a chance to qualify for the European playoffs, but the league leaders clearly do not intend to drop points.
Our Prediction for Groningen vs Ajax
The club from "Euroborg" spent last season in the country's second division. However, they did not linger there – having taken second place in the Eerste Divisie, they returned straight to the top league. The Amsterdam giants had a rough start, but eventually finished fifth with 56 points.
Thanks to this, the new coach, Farioli, led them into the Europa League. The Dutch side almost got knocked out in the qualifiers – the penalty shootout against Panathinaikos was epic in terms of duration. Ultimately, Ajax reached the Round of 16, losing to Eintracht Frankfurt in March. By that time, though, the team had switched focus to competing for the Eredivisie leadership. During the final stretch, they had several painful setbacks: they lost 0-4 to Utrecht and only drew 1-1 at home with Sparta. Even in the last round, they lost to NEC, 0-3. The newcomer is looking confident, sitting in the middle of the table. True, they suffered three straight losses in April, but resounding wins over Heracles and Waalwijk allowed them to close in on the top 8. Against AZ, however, they were overwhelmingly beaten 0-3.
Bacuna and company score an average of 1.19 goals per game. At the same time, they allow their opponents almost 1.5 goals per match. The title contender concedes an average of 0.97 goals per game, while scoring nearly two goals per match themselves.
