H2H: Feyenoord vs Groningen – Prediction (Eredivisie

H2H: Feyenoord v Groningen – Comparison.

Feyenoord’s prolific full-back Ridgeciano Haps has scored three goals in his last four Eredivisie appearances, two of which came before HT. Recently, Jørgen Strand Larsen became the first Groningen player since 2013 to be involved in five goals in his first seven appearances (three goals, two assists). Feyenoord boss Advocaat is unbeaten in six of his last seven H2Hs with Groningen (W3, D4, L1) whilst five of the last six have produced under 2.5 total goals.

Feyenoord Insights.

Dick Advocaat’s Feyenoord retained their unbeaten record following an impressive comeback victory last time out (3-2 vs Emmen). To keep the ‘L’ column clean, Feyenoord have had to overcome adversity often. They have scored just two match openers, and as such, have earned more points than any side when shipping first (W3, D2). The hosts often impress as favourites, and are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 home league games entered as such (W10, D5, L1). Moreover, Feyenoord have scored in each of their last 12 home league games (W9, D3), registering 2.42 scored goals per-match on average, whilst six victories came with a 2+ goal margin.

Groningen Insights.

Despite scoring just once across their last 554 minutes of play at De Kuip, visiting Groningen harbour slight hope of a shock. Their last two games have seen both teams score with over 2.5 total goals, though you must look back to Jan/Feb 2019 to find the last time they saw a run of three straight league games record over 2.5 match goals. Groningen have also recorded a stronger seven-game start than in any of their last nine campaigns (W4, D1, L2). However, a strong start here is important, as the HT result has mirrored that of FT in all three of Groningen’s away league games so far (W2, L1) – two saw goals in both halves.
