Prediction: 1-0
Groningen
Following a 2-0 win over RKC Waalwijk, Ajax will look to move closer to the Champions League berth when they face Groningen in the Eredivisie round 8. The Amsterdammers aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Ajax’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Kian Fitz-Jim, Bertand Traore, Jordan Henderson, Wouter Weghorst, and Steven Berghuis.
Dick Lukkien’s men, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their under-par performances in back-to-back losses to Heerenveen and Go Ahead Eagles, we are tempted to bet on Ajax even though they head into Sunday’s clash with a severely-weakened squad. In their last meeting at Johan Cruijff Arena Ajax hammered Groningen 6-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Marvin Peersman and Brynjolfur Willumsson are banned for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Groningen):
Groningen is a Dutch football clubs that competes in the Eredivisie. Founded on June 16, 1971, Groningen play home games at Euroborg. The venue was built by Ballas Nedam, Royal BAM Group and VolkerWessels, and it can hold up to 22,525 people.
The Trots van het Noorden (Pride of the North) are well known for their white home shirts with red stripes, while purple is the dominant colour of their away kit. Volendam are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have a rivalry with Twente as well after the 1980s incidents between their fans. Groningen have yet to win the Eredivisie trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the Dutch Cup in the 2014/15 season.
The green and whites defeated Zwolle 2-0 in the title game. Speaking of their European success, it has to be noted that Groningen participated in the Europa League on two occasions. In the 2015/16 season the Trots van het Noorden booked their place in the group stages of the competition, but they failed to record a win in the process.
