Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Fortuna Sittard, Go Ahead Eagles will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Groningen in the Eredivisie round 19. Go Ahead Eagles are eager to stay in top eight in the standings and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be attacking midfielder Jakob Breum, who scored a hat-trick against Sittard, while forward Finn Stokkers continues to miss out with injury.
The Green and White Army, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches. As Groningen are on a five-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Deventer.
Highlighted Team (Groningen):
Groningen is a Dutch football clubs that competes in the Eredivisie. Founded on June 16, 1971, Groningen play home games at Euroborg. The venue was built by Ballas Nedam, Royal BAM Group and VolkerWessels, and it can hold up to 22,525 people.
The Trots van het Noorden (Pride of the North) are well known for their white home shirts with red stripes, while purple is the dominant colour of their away kit. Volendam are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have a rivalry with Twente as well after the 1980s incidents between their fans. Groningen have yet to win the Eredivisie trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the Dutch Cup in the 2014/15 season.
The green and whites defeated Zwolle 2-0 in the title game. Speaking of their European success, it has to be noted that Groningen participated in the Europa League on two occasions. In the 2015/16 season the Trots van het Noorden booked their place in the group stages of the competition, but they failed to record a win in the process.
