Ajax vs Groningen H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

In Eredivisie action, Ajax met Groningen on December 2. Ajax emerged victorious with a 2-0 win.

Mika Godts scored the first goal of the game on the 28th minute of the match, giving Ajax the lead. Aaron Bouwman added to the score, setting the final scoreline at 2-0.

The countdown begins for a clash that promises intensity as Ajax and Groningen prepare to meet again, 7 months after the previous Eredivisie meeting that concluded in a 2-2 stalemate. On a difficult run, Ajax approach this match following losses against Benfica, Excelsior, Utrecht and Galatasaray, leaving them without a victory in their last five outings. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last fifteen matches.

Groningen enter this contest on the back of a draw against Zwolle on November 23. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last eight matches.

In this Eredivisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Ajax and Groningen throughout the campaign. Ajax’s offensive unit, with Fred Grim at the helm, has leaned on Mika Godts and Wout Weghorst, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With six goals in Eredivisie, Weghorst is Ajax’s top scorer in the league, with Godts leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Supporting them are Oscar Gloukh, Kenneth Taylor and Davy Klaassen, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Ajax’s attack.

Meanwhile, Groningen’s Stije Resink and top finisher Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Dick Lukkien’s vision, remains effective. Willumsson leads Groningen’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with five goals, with Resink leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Groningen’s offense has also been strengthened by Younes Taha, Marco Rente and Thom Van Bergen, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
