H2H: Groningen vs Feyenoord – Prediction (Eredivisie

Preview and Teams Comparison.

FC Groningen are looking to extend their current six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions (W5, D1). Moreover, the hosts have not conceded a single goal in the last 388 minutes of home football, winning each of their last four games here without reply and by a 2+ goal margin. Three of those victories have also come after a won first half.

Despite sitting above Feyenoord in the table, after picking up 13 of the last 15 points available, Groningen remain outsiders here. Since the start of last season, Groningen have won just one of their five home league games entered as the outsider since the start of 2018/19 (W1, D1, L3). Kaj Sierhuis has scored two of Groningen’s last three home goals, with each contributing to victories ‘to nil’.

Stat attack: Just one of Groningen’s five conceded home league goals have come before half-time. Groningen have scored only once across the last six H2Hs (606 minutes of play). Nine of Feyenoord’s 12 conceded away league goals have come before half-time, with nearly half (41.67%) scored between 31’-45’.

Feyenoord coach Dick Advocaat ended a five-match winless run away from home in all competitions in his first game. Advocaat is unbeaten in 12 of 17 career H2Hs with Groningen (W7, D5, L5) though he is winless in four (D3, L1), with his side on the day scoring just once across the last 433 minutes of play.

The visitors have a decent win rate of 40% from Eredivisie away games entered as favourites since the start of 2018/19 (W8, D6, L6). However that win rate could well decrease, given that Feyenoord have made their worst 13-game start in terms of conceded goals (1.85 conceded per-match on average), and points earned, since 2010/11. Feyenoord defender Marcos Senesi scored an 85th minute winner in only his fourth Eredivisie appearance since his move this season.
