Bergwijn to Score Anytime
Ajax has a multitude of options in the attack, and with the club having the second-best efficiency rating in Eredivisie, it is hard to predict who will get on the scoresheet on any given day. However, Steven Bergwijn is one to keep an eye out for as he has been one of the most consistent players for the Amsterdam team this season, thus for this Groningen vs Ajax prediction it makes sense to take the route in question. He shares the top of the goalscoring charts at the club with eleven on the record and will be looking to add some more to his tally in the last few rounds of the season with Ajax grasping at straws in their efforts to secure Champions League football next season.
Over 3.5 Goals
Ajax and RKC are two teams that had the most over 3.5 goals matches in the league this season at 17, however, the Amsterdam outfit is better when it comes to the goals scored per match. There are 3.6 goals per contest scored during their matches. Groningen is in the bottom six when it comes to this kind of stat, and they had four out of the last five encounters with fewer than three goals in the back of the net. Ajax had three of those matches during the same span of games. When we look at the Groningen vs Ajax h2h record for this specific occasion, three out of the last five times they met, there were at least four goals scored, and the first match between these teams during the current season ended with a 6-1 Ajax victory.

Preview, Team News, and Groningen vs Ajax Lineups
Groningen
It has been torture this season for Groningen fans who are devastated that their favorite club is going down the divisions. But, it is a deserving end for the club which failed to get more than four wins this entire season and had plenty of opportunities to change their outcome. Jetro Willems is injured while Michael Verrips, Liam Van Gelderen, Thijmen Blokzijl, and Paulos Abraham are in a fitness battle to play this weekend.
Probable lineup: Leeuwenburgh, Schreuders, Balker, Bech Sorensen, Musampa Nordin, Hove, Valente, Dybvik Maatta, Antman, Suslov, Pepi.
Ajax
The defending champions have their problems. It was clear that Ajax won't be the champion again a while ago, but the fact that they are most likely missing out on the Champions League football next season is a big blow for the club whose finances are destined to take a hit because of that situation. Steven Berghuis, Kian Fitz-Jim, and Ahmetcan Kaplan are injured.
Probable lineup: Rulli, Hato, Alvarez, Timber, Rensch, Taylor, Klaassen, Bergwijn, Tadic, Kudus, Brobbey.
Player to Watch: Brian Brobbey
One of three players that have scored eleven goals this season which is the highest mark on the Ajax team, is Brian Brobbey who came to the club only last summer and rather quickly established himself as the one to watch. He added a couple of assists in 29 league appearances.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
