Groningen vs Nijmegen – Betting Analysis
There hasn’t been much to separate the clubs in their previous head-to-head matches dating back to November 5, 2016, with FC Groningen winning twice, NEC twice, and draws in each of those games.
In these games, they combined to score 19 goals, with 9 coming from Trots van het Noorden and 10 coming from NEC. That equals 3.17 goals per game on average.
The two teams last competed in a league game on August 26, 2022, when NEC defeated FC Groningen, 1–1, in Eredivisie match day 4. Allard Lindhout was the official referee.
Dennis van der Ree, the manager of FC Groningen, will be without Paulos Abraham (knee surgery), Mads Bech Sörensen (forearm fracture), and Thijmen Blokzijl (ankle injury).
We believe that Trots van het Noorden will start Michael Verrips, Nordin Musampa, Matej Chalus, Radinio Balker, Damil Dankerlui, Johan Hove, Tomas Suslov, I. Dybvik Määttä, Daleho Irandust, Oliver Antman, and Ricardo Pepi in the 4-5-1 configuration during the game.
Rogier Meijer, the manager of NEC, must select a squad from a limited pool of candidates. Mathias De Wolf (Hamstring Injury), Calvin Verdonk (Unknown Injury), and Robin Roefs (Unknown Injury) cannot be taken into account.
in Jasper Cillessen, Bart van Rooij, Ivan Marquez Alvarez, Joris Kramer, Souffian El Karouani, Lasse Schone, Dirk Proper, Elayis Tavsan, Ibrahim Cissoko, Magnus Mattsson, and Landry Dimata, NEC seem most likely to start the game in a 4-2-3-1 formation. We believe that both NEC and FC Groningen might have trouble scoring in this situation.
