Excelsior are determined to build on back-to-back wins over Ajax and NAC Breda and given Groningen’s recent struggles, 2-1 is an adequate outcome for this matchup. The Rotterdammers have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team moving away from the danger zone. However, you should bear in mind that they have been scoring only 1.00 goals per game of late. Excelsior manager Ruben den Uil has a full squad to choose from against Groningen.
The Green and White Army, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the last 4 Eredivisie games. With Groningen conceding 2.4 goals per game in the last five matches in all competitions, away win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
In their last meeting in Rotterdam, Excelsior defeated Groningen 1-0 and given the away team’s poor form, Home Win seems like the best betting option. Over 9.5 Corners and BTTS markets should be considered as well.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Friday 5 December 2025 at 19:00.
