Why not?

Groningen bagged only one point out of the away game vs Heerenveen, having completed three consecutive games without a single loss. Both teams created many chances and the final 1-1 does not represent their efforts on the pitch. With this point, Groningen are 2 points below the 7th place which leads to the playoffs for a Europa League place, so they have to do their best to get all the points in the 4 remaining rounds. Goalkeeper Begois and attacker Pohl are injured.

Ajax were impressive for another European game. Except for Real, they also eliminated Juventus from the Champions League almost with the same way, an amazing win on the road, without a win in the first leg that took place in Johan Cruijff Arena. In addition, they have registered 4 consecutive wins in Eredivisie and they are sharing the top place along with Eindhoven. Midfielder Eiting won't be in available tonight, while defender Mazraoui is doubtful.

We can't compare the quality of the these two teams the guests are clearly the favorites. Ajax won't make any rotation despite their difficult schedule the recent weeks. They need the points to stay on top and E. ten Hag will use almost the same starting line who triumphed last Tuesday in Torino. However, Groningen are quite strong when playing in front of their fans, they are coming from 7 consecutive home wins. The odds that are close to 9.00 for Groningen to win can't be ignored from this writer. Even if the final result will be something like a 0-4 win for Ajax.
