Prediction: 2-0
Zwolle
Groningen play host to Zwolle at their Euroborg in the Eredivisie round 15. The Green and White Army made a slow start to the season, but their recent displays are surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Groningen did well to beat both G.A. Eagles and Fortuna Sittard in the previous two league fixtures, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Zwolle. The good news for the hosts is that talented midfielder Tomas Suslov is back from suspension.
The Blauwingers, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with RKC at the weekend, with the team remaining in the ultimate position. Given Zwolle’s dreadful away record in the 2021/2022 Eredivisie campaign, anything but a routine win would be a major surprise. Defender Kenneth Paal, who limped off with injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature against Groningen.
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.
Following short loan spells with the likes of Haarlem and Go Ahead Eagles, Sergio Padt signed a deal with Belgian outfit Gent in June, 2011. 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 (Zwolle):
Founded on June 12, 1910, PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club which competes in the Eredivisie. Zwolle have yet to win the national championship, but they did remarkably well to lift the Dutch Cup trophy in 2014. Ron Jans’s troops impressed in the title game, with the team rolling over Dutch giants Ajax 5-1.
The Blauwingers play their home games at MACPARK Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,000 people. The multi-use stadium was opened on August 29, 2009. Zwolle’s home kit is blue and white, while the colour of their away jersey is green and white. In the 2014/15 season the Blauwingers represented the Netherlands in the Europa League, with the team losing to Sparta Prague in the play-off round.
The likes of Henk Timmer (237), Johan Hansma (231), Bert Konterman (219), Arne Slot (208), and Jasper Drost (182) are the players with the most league appearances for the club. Go Ahead Eagles are considered the club’s biggest rivals as both teams are located at the river Ijssel.
