Ajax started the new Eredivisie season with a win, although that took some effort. Fortuna Sittard took a 1-0 lead, but the reigning champion eventually triumphed 2-3. The first home match is now on the program for Ajax. FC Groningen will visit the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Sunday. In collaboration with Unibet, Voetbalzone looks ahead to the home game of trainer Alfred Schreuder’s team.
Fortuna striker Paul Gladon gave Ajax a dramatic start with the opening goal in the sixth minute. Thanks to hits from Kenneth Taylor, Devyne Rensch and Brian Brobbey, Ajax turned the tables in South Limburg. Burak Yilmaz scored from a wonderful free kick shortly before the end, but that was not enough to get the Amsterdam club into trouble after all. Captain Dusan Tadic, who was reported to have recently suffered minor injuries after a robbery near his home, did not score, but was very happy with the hard-fought victory afterwards.
Do you see Ajax winning against FC Groningen without conceding goals? The odds are 1.94!
Groningen had a less energetic and satisfactory start to the new season in the Eredivisie. Against the newly promoted FC Volendam, a comfortable 2-0 lead was given away on their own field: 2-2. The Pride of the North had little to say against Ajax in Amsterdam last season. Groningen left the capital almost a year ago with a hopeless 3-0 defeat.

At Ajax, Brobbey will probably be looked at again for goals, who already managed to find the net once in Sittard. The question is, however, whether Schreuder will grant him a starting spot, or whether the attacker will use the attacker again as a substitute. Steven Bergwijn is looking for his first goal on behalf of Ajax in the Eredivisie. Cyril Ngonge and Jörgen Strand Larsen, the goalscorers against Volendam, will have to take care of the danger for the Groningers on Sunday.
