Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Groningen and Zwolle square off against each other at Euroborg in what is expected to be an interesting Eredivisie encounter. Groningen aim to build on a 2-0 win over Willem II and you should know that they are after their third consecutive win at home ground. Finn Stam remains on the sidelines with injury, while both Fofin Turay and Tika de Jonge are rated doubtful for the match.
Johnny Jansen’s troops, on the other hand, defeated Sparta Rotterdam thanks to Jamiro Monteiro’s goal at home ground, but they have yet to record a win on the road this term. As Zwolle are not regarded as good travellers, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Groningen’s party at Euroborg. Both Tristan Gooijer and Samir Lagsir are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six meetings in the Dutch top flight.
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.
