ADO Den Haag vs Groningen Predictions

• Den Haag have won just one of their last eleven league games.
• Groningen’s seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end last month and they have now lost their last two matches.
• A win could lift Den Haag out of the relegation zone this weekend.
• Groningen could slip down to 12th with a defeat.

The hosts haven’t made the most of their home advantage this season

The last three encounters between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals while no more than two goals have been scored in three of Den Haag’s and four of Groningen’s last five matches, so you can begin to see why we are backing a low-scoring draw this weekend.

Den Haag are without a win in their last seven games in all competitions and Groningen have failed to win any of their last three league games, making a draw the most likely result between the pair on Saturday. Den Haag have only won once at home this season and Groningen haven’t faired much better on the road with just two wins to their name.

Den Haag average 0.75 points per home game and Groningen average 1.00 points per away game, both of which tie in with our prediction for a draw this weekend. Den Haag have drawn 38% of their home games and Groningen have drawn 25% of their away games this season, with the hosts scoring an average of 1.00 goals per home game and conceding an average of 1.63 goals and the visitors scoring an average of 0.75 goals per away game and conceding an average of 1.25 goals, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw.

Groningen’s inconsistency could rule them out of the race for the European places

Den Haag’s home games produce an average of 2.63 goals and Groningen’s away games produce an average of 2.00 goals, and we have backed two goals to be scored when the pair clash this weekend. Only 38% of Den Haag’s home games and Groningen’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals, which against suggests that no more than two goals will be scored on Saturday.

Both teams scored in 50% of Den Haag’s home games as well as 50% of Groningen’s away games this season, and Den Haag have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games while Groningen have also only kept clean sheets in 25% of their away games, which bodes well for our final score prediction of 1-1.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Den Haag have struggled for wins this season and Groningen’s good run of form appears to have come to an end, making the most likely result on Saturday a draw. Games between these two teams in recent seasons have been low-scoring and we’re expecting another tight and tense affair this weekend.
