Ajax II Groningen betting prediction

Betting suggestion:

This is a duel between two of the teams that most like to value possession of the ball and always try to propose the game. Also noteworthy is Jong Ajax's good defensive performance in their home games, as well as Groningen's defensive solidity in general this season. Considering all this, we will bet on Jong Ajax's Half-Time Asian Handicap +0.5 as we project good chances for the home team to hold on to the visitors' offensive momentum, especially in the first 45 minutes, which is a stage in which Jong Ajax conceded fewer goals at home and Groningen scored fewer goals as a visitor.

Preview

Ajax and Groningen meet at Sportpark De Toekomst, in a match for the 21^th round of the Eerste Divisie. FC Groningen got a home win by (4‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 11‑08‑2023. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 15^th and 6^th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 6^th best team in home matches and the 12^th best in away matches.

Analysis Ajax

The home team faces Groningen, in a match for the 21 round, which had been delayed, after 5 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 4 points in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 33 conceded, against 18 points won at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last 9 home league matches Ajax has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 18 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last home matches and they haven't lost any of the last 8 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 10 of their 28 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Jong Ajax is in a curious situation in this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 as they haven't lost in 9 rounds, after 4 wins and 5 draws, but they also failed to win their last 3 games which all ended in a draw. The team scored goals in the last 10 matches they played, but in the 5 most recent they scored goals. As home team, they stand out for having won the last 4 duels at their stadium and for having 8 unbeaten matches at home with 5 wins and 3 draws. Furthermore, Jong Ajax has the second best home defense with 8 goals conceded in 9 home performances. The team's greatest characteristic is the valorization of ball possession, which even makes it have the third highest ball possession rate - which is 54.6% per round. Coach Dave Vos has a big doubt when it comes to defining his starting line-up: striker Gabriel Misehouy, scorer of the last goal and second highest finisher in the league with an average of 3.4 shots per performance, was injured in the last game. After that, however, he became available to the Ajax main team in the Eredivisie game on 21-01-2023.

Confirmed Lineup: Tom Gerard de Graaff, Anass Salah-Eddine, Anton Gaaei, Olivier Aertssen, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Silvano Cliff Robbie Vos, Kian Fitz-Jim, Gabriel Osei Misehouy, Jaydon Amauri Banel, Raphaël Boakye Sarfo, David Kalokoh.
Coach: J. Heitinga.

In their last match, for the KNVB Beker, they got an away win against Excelsior by (0‑2).

The appreciation of ball possession is also characteristic of the team as it has an average of 55% of ball possession per game, the second best rate in this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024. From this, Groningen is even able to be the club that takes the most shots in the league, with an average of 17.2 shots per round, although it is the third one that hits the goal the most with a rate of 5.6 correct shots on target. .

Confirmed Lineup: Hidde Jurjus, Marco Rente, Wouter Prins, Marvin Peersman, Thijmen Blokzijl, Luciano Valente, Joey Pelupessy, Johan Hove, Jorg Schreuders, Romano Postema, Thom van Bergen.
Coach: D. Buijs.
