Groningen will try to recover from a heavy 5-1 defeat to PSV when they face Fortuna Sittard in Eredivisie round four. Despite that setback, the Green and White Army are still targeting their third victory of the campaign and have shown enough promise in their opening games. Groningen will need to improve defensively after conceding five times at the weekend, while Jeng, Mercera, and Metu are all expected to miss out through injury.
Fortuna Sittard, meanwhile, are also aiming to recover after a 2-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar. Their task was made much harder when Ole Romeny was sent off after just five minutes, and the forward will now serve a suspension on Friday. Bayram and Simons are also ruled out through injury, further limiting Fortuna's options. Groningen should have the advantage at home, but Fortuna could make this a competitive encounter if they remain disciplined.
Given Groningen's home advantage and stronger start to the campaign, Home Win should be considered, alongside Groningen to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (despite Groningen's heavy defeat last time out, this should be a more controlled affair).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Friday 28 August 2026 at 19:00.
