Groningen has already confirmed their safety in the Eredivisie, but that doesn't mean they don't have anything meaningful to play for with two games remaining. Their goal this season is to secure a European football spot, and they are two points behind that desired spot, which is currently occupied by Heerenveen in eighth place.
On Sunday, Dick Lukkien's men made the trip to North Holland to lock horns with AZ Alkmaar. The final result was unpleasant as they were on the receiving end of a disheartening 3-0 defeat.
The Pride of the North was a force to be reckoned with before this unwanted result. They were on a two-match winning streak, defeating Heracles Almelo (4-1) and RKC Waalwijk (6-1). Both wins came at home, and this should be enough to see them motivated to get back to the win column.
Groningen: Team News
Groningen have no fresh injury news at the moment other than the regular two absentees Fofin Turay (achilles tendon injury) and Maxim Mariani (knock).
Stije Resink and Jorg Schreuders are both tied at five goals and are Groningen's leading goalscorers. They are expected to play an important role this Wednesday and guide the team to a positive outcome.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Vaessen; Rente, Ekdal, Peersman, Prins; Seuntjens, Resink; Schreuders, Valente, Kwakman; van Bergen.
⛔️ Out: Fofin Turay (achilles tendon injury), Maxim Mariani (knock).
👤 Head coach: Dick Lukkien.

Ajax Amsterdam are starting to crumble under pressure with two games remaining in the Eredivisie. The record champions have dropped unnecessary points in recent weeks, and that has had a negative effect on their league standing.
The good news is that they still occupy the top spot. However, they now find themselves in a heated title race as they have maintained a one-point lead over defending champions PSV Eindhoven in second place.
The Sons of the Gods are winless in three league games, recording two losses and one draw. Over the weekend, they suffered a shocking 3-0 home defeat at the hands of NEC Nijmegen. For them, it was a critical blow to their title hopes, but in the case of NEC, it served as a historic win.
Ajax Amsterdam: Team News
Ajax was without Brian Brobbey in the 3-0 defeat against NEC Nijmegen because of a twisted ankle. The 23-year-old is now fit and will be given a nod over Wout Weghorst. Bertrand Traore and Steven Berghuis are expected to provide support from the wings.
Head coach Francesco Farioli has three players in the injury room, including Oliver Edvardsen, who is ruled out indefinitely because of a knee injury. Joining him in the injury room are regular absentess Youri Baas (groin injury) and Branco van den Boomen (back injury).
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Pasveer; Gaaei, Sutalo, Rugani, Hato; Klaassen, Henderson, Taylor; Traore, Brobbey, Berghuis.
⛔️ Out: Oliver Edvardsen (knee injury), Youri Baas (groin injury), Branco van den Boomen (back injury).
👤 Head coach: Francesco Farioli.

Groningen vs Ajax Amsterdam match prediction 14 May 2025
Groningen faces a mammoth task in their bid to return to winning ways, and hopefully, a chance to keep their European football hopes alive. They are up against an Ajax side they've failed to defeat in their last six encounters. In fact, they are currently on a six-match losing streak, and realistically speaking, I don't see them causing an upset.
Ajax Amsterdam need the three points more than their opponents if they are to finish the season at the top of the Eredivisie summit. They have been dominant in this fixture, winning six consecutive matches and scoring three or more goals in all of them. In their last away match, they won 3-2, and Brian Brobbey was on the scoresheet. I'm expecting a similar outcome filled with plenty of goals.
Our match prediction: W1 for a coefficient of 1.64 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: Ajax Amsterdam Total - Over 2.5 for a coefficient of 2.80 in the Betway bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: Anytime Goalscorer - Brian Brobbey for a coefficient of 2.05 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
