key stats

Feyenoord’s dominance in this fixture is absolute; they are currently on a 10-match unbeaten streak against FC Groningen in all competitions.
Defence is a hallmark of Feyenoord’s success in this matchup, having kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight matches against Groningen.
FC Groningen have historically struggled against the top teams at home, failing to win in their last 12 home matches against the traditional Eredivisie ‘Big Three’ (Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord).

My prediction is a 2-0 victory for Feyenoord. The gulf in quality, confidence, and tactical prowess between these two sides is simply too large to ignore. Feyenoord are a well-drilled, title-chasing machine, while Groningen’s primary objective is survival. The head-to-head record, particularly Feyenoord’s remarkable ability to keep clean sheets against Groningen, is a telling factor. While the passionate Euroborg crowd will give the home side a lift, Feyenoord’s professional approach and superior talent should see them control the match and secure a comfortable, clean-sheet win.

FC Groningen Vs Feyenoord H2H

You have to go all the way back to 2018 to find FC Groningen’s last victory over Feyenoord in any competition.
Despite Feyenoord’s overall dominance, recent games at the Euroborg have been relatively tight, with under 2.5 goals being scored in three of the last five meetings here.

team news FC Groningen

Manager Dick Lukkien faces a monumental task and will be forced into a defensive setup. Their challenge is made even greater by an injury to their main striker, Romano Postema, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, severely limiting their attacking threat. The team will rely heavily on the experience of captain and goalkeeper Michael Verrips to organise the defence and withstand the expected onslaught from the visitors.

team news Feyenoord

Feyenoord’s manager may choose to rotate one or two players following a midweek Champions League fixture, but will still field a side packed with international quality. Star striker Santiago Giménez is in fine goalscoring form and is expected to lead the line. The creative hub of Calvin Stengs and Quinten Timber are both fit and available to start. There are no major injury concerns for the Rotterdam giants.
