Ajax (home)
- Ajax and FC Groningen are level on 20 points after 13 Eredivisie games, sitting 6th and 7th respectively.
- Ajax have won four and lost two of their seven Eredivisie home games, scoring an average of 1.57 goals per game.
- Ajax are now winless in five in all competitions (D1, L4), managing just three goals during that run in which Mika Godts has been a rare source of joy, netting two of those goals.
- Wout Weghorst remains their main man up top with six goals in 12 Eredivisie games this season, but there are clear problems up and down the pitch.
- Fred Grim has had to take over a side which have lost their rhythm and are not yet firing on all cylinders, which should be considered in our AFC Ajax vs FC Groningen prediction.
Groningen (away)
- Groningen have won one and lost two of their last three Eredivisie away games, scoring an average of 1.33 goals on the road.
- Groningen are pragmatic and like to sit deep, which makes them a difficult team to get at as they are dangerous on the counter and a constant threat from set-pieces.
- Thom van Bergen has found his form of late with three goals in his last five appearances, which should be a boost to Groningen’s transition attack.
- Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson leads the line with five goals in nine Eredivisie appearances so far and will be the main man to watch for when the visitors are on the attack, a factor worth considering for this AFC Ajax vs FC Groningen betting tips analysis.

Betting Insights
- Ajax’s home record (W4, D1, L2 from seven) and recent run of results indicate that the hosts are not a good odds-on bet on Sunday at 1.66, even if Groningen are big long shots at 4.99; these are important statistics for AFC Ajax vs FC Groningen betting tips.
- The Over 2.5 Goals market at 1.7 looks promising, considering the match averages of both sides in Eredivisie 2025-2026 and Ajax's recent low scoring.
Prediction
There is little to separate the two sides however, and history indicates that Ajax should come out on top, albeit not with the same confidence that they were showing a few months ago.
