AFC Ajax Amsterdam will host Groningen at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and now sit fifth in the league table with 10 points from five matches as they continue their push for a return to the UEFA Champions League.
They beat Waalwijk 2-0 last time out in the Eredivisie via late goals from Bertrand Traore and Mika Godts before heading to the Czech Republic on Thursday for their Europa League clash against Slavia Praha which ended 1-1.
Groningen enjoyed a winning start to life in the top flight but now seem to have run out of steam early in the season. They were beaten 1-0 by Go Ahead Eagles in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors now sit mid-table in ninth place with nine points from seven matches and will be looking to get their campaign back on track with a win on Sunday.
