This Matchday 14 fixture pits two teams currently level on points in the league standings, making it a crucial encounter for both sides as they push for European qualification spots.
Ajax, historically a dominant force in Dutch football, will be looking to leverage their home advantage and strong head-to-head record against Groningen to secure a vital three points.
