Vitesse vs Groningen Predictions

Vitesse lost 2-1 at Emmen on Sunday and head into this Fridays’ clash with Groningen having lost their last two Eredivisie games, while their guests extended their unbeaten streak to five matches with a 2-0 home win over Willem II.

All the stats point towards there being goals in this game for both clubs and we have backed the two sides to play out a 1-1 draw in Arnhem on Friday.

Both teams scored in five of the last six meetings between these two clubs and the last six encounters between the pair have produced three wins and three defeats apiece, so you can see why we’ve backed both teams to score on Friday.

The performances of both teams heading into Friday’s clash add weight to our prediction of goals at both ends of the pitch, as both teams have scored in three of Vitesse’s last six matches and Groningen have scored in each of their last five outings. Vitesse have only failed to score in one of their last six matches, keeping just two clean sheets in their last six attempts.

Groningen have avoided defeat in their last two away games and Vitesse lost their last home game against Den Haag, so we believe the visitors will claim a point on Friday night despite sitting four places and six points behind their hosts in the table.

We’re confident both teams will score in Friday’s match, which is the basis behind our final scoreline prediction of 1-1. These two teams are both playing well at this moment in time and results between the pair over the last couple of seasons have been split evenly. Both teams have been scoring on a regular basis and have kept things fairly tight at the back, which is why we’re not expecting any more than the predicted two goals to be scored in Friday’s clash.
