Groningen Double Chance
NEC will start Sunday’s game seven places above Groningen in the Eredivisie table, though we think the hosts could drop points against their underdog opponents. NEC have claimed just one point from their last three league assignments in Nijmegen, while the visitors are in the midst of an unbeaten three-game surge in top flight. With the momentum clearly with Groningen, we’re tipping them to leave the Goffertstadion with a positive result.
Both Teams to Score
Groningen have been trading blows with their hosts for the majority of the season, in fact, both teams to score has landed in four of their first five away tests this term. BTTS bettors have also been rewarded in three of NEC’s last four games in the Eredivisie, and with plenty of compelling evidence to point to, we recommend you stick to the same market on Sunday.
First Team to Score – Groningen
NEC shipped the first goal in each of their last two home fixtures and we think Groningen can break the deadlock in similar fashion when they travel to Nijmegen on Sunday. The Trots van het Noorden got their noses in front in each of their last three Eredivisie tussles and 50% of the total goals they’ve scored this season so far were notched inside 30 minutes. With that fast-starting habit pushing them on, we’re tipping Groningen to score first this weekend.
NEC vs Groningen: Match Preview
NEC team news
Rens van Eijden, Dirk Proper, Mathias De Wolf and Mikkel Duelund will all be absent for NEC when they welcome Groningen this weekend. NEC recorded a surprise 2-1 win at Twente last week – a result that fired them into the division’s top half. Their performances in Nijmegen have been less impressive however, and the hosts have pocketed just one point from the last nine on offer on home soil.
Groningen team news
Mike Te Wierik has been ruled out, while Laros Duarte and Radinio Balker are considered doubtful ahead of Sunday’s game. Groningen extended their unbeaten run to three matches with a fine 2-0 win at home to a strong AZ outfit last weekend. Danny Buijs’ troops have still won only twice overall this term, though another positive result on Sunday could fire Groningen up as many as six places in the table.
