Groningen and NEC Nijmegen will clash at Euroborg on matchday 33 of the Eredivisie. In this penultimate match, both sides will be aiming to return to winning ways and given their poor form heading into this clash, neither side can be trusted to step up. Given that the two sides have displayed clear attacking intent, there'll be plenty of goals, which is why our prediction points towards more than 3.5 goals.
Groningen are in tenth place in the league standings with 42 points, with their hopes of European football being undermined by a five-point gap.
Trots van het Noorden have dropped unnecessary points in the past few weeks. Without beating around the bush, they are winless in their last three league games and were the favourites in two of those encounters.
In their recent match, they suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Excelsior. That marked their second consecutive league defeat.
NEC Nijmegen have their sights set on a UEFA Champions League qualification spot. They already occupy third place and have maintained a one-point cushion over fourth-placed Ajax.
NEC are also plagued with inconsistency heading into this clash. A 1-1 home draw against Telstar marked their second successive draw by the same scoreline.
Not that it's a positive thing, but rather something detrimental, as they have gone four league games without a win, with just one win in six outings.
