Groningen host Ajax at the Euroborg on Sunday (May 14) in the Eredivisie. The hosts have endured a grossly underwhelming campaign, getting relegated for the first time in over two decades.
Their fate was confirmed last weekend following a 1-1 draw against Go Ahead Eagles. Groningen could have no complaints after managing just two shots all game.
The hosts are 17th in the standings with 18 points from 31 games. They have nothing left to play for this season but will be desperate to return to winning ways at home.
Ajax, meanwhile, have also failed to hit their customary heights this season and could miss out on the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign. They drew goalless against AZ Alkmaar last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Groningen vs Ajax Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been 51 meetings between Groningen and Ajax, who lead 38-7.
- The visitors have won their last four games in the fixture.
- The hosts are without a clean sheet in four games in the fixture and their last nine across competitions.
- All but one of Groningen's four league wins this season have come at home.

Groningen vs Ajax Prediction
Groningen are without a win in eight league outings, losing seven. They have won just one home game all year and could struggle to pick up any points.
Ajax, meanwhile, are on a three-game winless streak after winning three games on the bounce. They have, however, been solid on the road recently and should secure a comfortable win.
Prediction: Groningen 1-3 Ajax
