Groningen plays host to Heracles Almelo at Euroborg on matchday 4 in the Eredivisie. Groningen are in 11th place in the league standings, while Heracles are in 18th place. Here's our match prediction.
Stability has been hard to come by for Groningen in the 2025-26 Eredivisie season. So far, they have dropped six points in three games, losing against AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven.
Their only taste of victory came against Heerenveen, securing a 2-1 home victory. Instead of building that result, they found themselves on the receiving end of a recent 4-2 away defeat at PSV Eindhoven. However, there was nothing much they could have done to avoid the inevitable.
Trots van het Noorden will aim to return to the winning column in front of their home crowd. They already have a win to their name at home and are seeking their second straight victory.
Heracles Almelo are anchored at the bottom of the table with no points to their name. This has put pressure on the new gaffer, Bas Sibum, who knows he has to start picking up results if he intends to keep his job.
The Heraclieden are riding a three-match losing streak in the league and have conceded ten goals in the process.
In their most recent match, they were faced with an arduous task on the road. Drawn against Dutch giants, Ajax, they suffered a 2-0 defeat.

Our Groningen vs Heracles Prediction
Groningen's two league defeats this season came against more prominent teams. Looking at their opponent in this fixture, there's reason to believe they'll be the stronger side and score maximum points in front of their home crowd.

Heracles Almelo have been struggling for favorable results lately in the league. Their scoring and away woes this season could lead to their demise in this encounter. Our Groningen vs Heracles Almelo prediction: Groningen wins the match.
