Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Feyenoord
Match Time & Date:
4 March 2023
19:30
Prediction: 3-0
Groningen
Feyenoord will be aiming to retain top position when they host Groningen to their De Kuip on Saturday evening. The Rotterdammers are determined to regain the domestic trophy, but reigning champions Ajax are still breathing down their neck. All Quinter Timber, Patrik Walemark, Justin Bijlow, and Sebastian Szymanski are sidelined with injuries, while Gernot Trauner is a major doubt.
De Trots van het Noorden, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Excelsior, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their eleven-game winless run. Groningen, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Feyenoord’s party at De Kuip. The visitors will be without Paulos Abraham, Oliver Antman, and Mads Bech Sorensen in Saturday’s encounter, while Nordin Musampa faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
