Heerenveen vs Groningen Predictions
Both teams head into this game on the back of good results. Heerenveen got the better of AZ Alkmaar by 4 goals to 2, which was a brilliant away performance against a good side. That continued their winning streak which now stands at 3. Groningen have won their last two league games to nil, however they have struggled on the road so far, can they change that here?
The stats suggest that’s unlikely, with Groningen having won only 2 of their last 17 away matches in the Eredivisie. For our main selection though we’re concentrating on the goals market.
3 of the last 4 meetings between the pair have seen under 2.5 goals and we’re predicting that to happen again on Sunday. Groningen have scored just 10 goals in their last 17 away games in the league and 11 of them matches saw under 2.5 goals. Their slightly more cautious approach on their travels certainly seems to be one of the main reasons for this, and their away games tend to be low-scoring affairs. They will see this as a much easier fixture, considering they’ve faced PSV & Ajax in their last two away games but it’s hard to be confident in them getting all three points against a solid Heerenveen side.
The hosts are unbeaten after five home matches so far this campaign, with four of them being draws. They were the second-worst home side in the division last season, but they also drew the most homes games (7) so they weren’t exactly pushovers on their own patch.
All 5 of Heerenveen’s home games this season have all been under 2.5 goals, and given Groningen’s less expansive approach away from home, that could be the case again here.
For our correct score prediction we’re going for honours even at 1-1. Heerenveen have a solid home profile which they’ve taken into this season, but they do struggle to get the job done and they’ve won just 4 of their last 15 home league games, drawing 8 of them (5 of them finished 1-1). Groningen don’t win often away from home but they have shown they can keep it tight. They managed an away draw at AZ Alkmaar in August and they’ll be hoping they can produce a similar performance here. Their last two visits to the Abe Lenstra Stadion have ended in 1-1 score lines also.
