Prediction: 2-2
Heerenveen
Groningen and Heerenveen take on each other at Euroborg in what is expected to be an entertaining Eredivisie showdown. Groningen suffered a 5-2 loss to PSV before the international break, but their display in the Philips Stadion clash was anything but poor. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be talented Belgium attacker Cyril Ngonge, who scored a brace in the defeat to PSV.
Heerenveen, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar. Since de Superfriezen are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s game as well, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Groningen defenders should have experienced attacker Henk Veerman at bay as the 30-year-old has already netted three goals in the new Eredivisie campaign. When the two teams met in a pre-season friendly two months ago Groningen defeated Heerenveen 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Padt):
Sergio Padt is a Dutch footballer who plays for Eredivisie club Groningen as a goalkeeper. Padt played for the likes of Pancratius, Hoofddorp, and Ajax during his youth career, but he did not see any game action with the Amsterdammers at senior level.

After making 55 appearances for the club in the Belgian top flight, the Dutch shot-stopper joined Groningen in the summer of 2014. Sergio Padt did remarkably well to win the KNVB Cup with the Green-White Army in the 2014/15 season, with the team beating PEC Zwolle in the title game.
The Groningen goalkeeper, who was born on June 6, 1990, has five caps for the Netherlands U-21 team. Speaking of his senior career, he received two call-ups for the national team, but has yet to make his debut.
Highlighted Team (Heerenveen):
Heerenveen is a Dutch football club that is well known for their white shirts with blue stripes. De Superfriezen (The Super Frisians) play home matches at Abe Lenstra Stadium, which has the capacity of 26,400 people.
Heerenveen have yet to win the Eredivisie title, but they impressed in the 1999/00 season, with the team finishing the process in second position in the standings. Thanks to a top-two finish, the club booked their place in the Champions League. Heerenveen, though, recorded only one in the group stages of the elite competition as they defeated Olympiakos 1-0 at home ground. De Superfizien retain a fierce rivals with Cambuur, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
It has to be noted that Heerenveen won the Dutch Cup in the 2008/09 season, with the team beating Twente on penalties in the title game. New Chelsea signing Hakim Ziyech played for Heerenveen at the start of his senior career.
