Prediction: 2-0
Groningen
Utrecht and Groningen square off against each other at Stadion Galgenwaard on day 13 of the new Eredivisie campaign. Utrecht are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from the match. Mees Rijks is banned for the match, while both Naoki Maeda and Nick Viergever are out of contention with injuries.
Frank Wormuth’s troops, on the other hand, are four points clear of the relegation zone, and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the in-form hosts will emerge triumphant in Sunday’s game. Both Nordin Musampa and Michael Verrips should miss out with injuries, while both Tomas Suslov and Liam Van Gelderen are major doubts. In their last meeting at the venue Groningen defeated Utrecht 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

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.
