Groningen vs Ajax H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Groningen face Ajax in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on May 14, with the match kicking off at 18:00 UTC.

7 months after their last encounter in Eredivisie, tensions run high as Groningen and Ajax prepare to meet again. In their last match, Ajax secured a 3-1 win. Groningen's last outing ended in a victory over Heracles Almelo in Eredivisie on April 23, setting the tone for this upcoming clash. Still, they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across six consecutive matches. Before Ajax, Groningen’s schedule includes AZ and RKC in Eredivisie, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for Ajax.

Ajax prepare for this game after drawing with Sparta Rotterdam last Sunday. Before facing Groningen, they will face NEC in Eredivisie, which will test their form and squad depth before facing Groningen. Their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last four matches.

This Eredivisie clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Groningen and Ajax in this campaign. The attacking efforts of Groningen, carefully orchestrated by Dick Lukkien, have been driven by Luciano Valente and Leandro Bacuna, their top finisher, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. Schreuders has emerged as Groningen’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting five goals, with Valente leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Thom Van Bergen, Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson and Stije Resink have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Groningen’s attack.

Meanwhile, Ajax’s top finisher Kenneth Taylor and Bertrand Traore have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Francesco Farioli at the helm, remains effective. Ajax’s top scorer in Eredivisie, Taylor, has nine goals this season, while also leading the team in assists, having set up six goals this campaign. Supporting them are Mika Godts, Wout Weghorst and Brian Brobbey, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Ajax’s attack.
