Team News
Groningen
Erwin van de Looi is without up to five players: Nick Bakker, Hilal Ben Moussa, Nick van der Velden, Henk Bos and Género Zeefuik. Richairo Zivkovic, who has started the last two games and impressed in both, is expected to lead the line again this weekend.
PEC Zwolle
PEC will travel to Groningen without Bram van Polen, Ronnie Reniers, Jesper Drost and Mateusz Klich. Fred Benson however is once again available after serving a one-match ban.
Match Facts
There have been over 2. 5 goals scored in 7 of Groningen’s last 8 games in Eredivisie. There have been under 2. 5 goals scored in 5 of PEC Zwolle’s last 6 games in Eredivisie. Groningen are undefeated in their last 7 matches against PEC Zwolle in all competitions. Groningen have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Eredivisie. Groningen are undefeated in their last 6 home matches in Eredivisie.
Prediction
Three spots separate both teams, but the closeness of the Eredivisie this season means it’s only two points and a win for either side will only strengthen their position. PEC, the surprise package of the season, have struggled on their travels lately: no win in their last four games, including two defeats. They meet a FC Groningen side unbeaten in their last six games at home dropping only four points, against Ajax and Roda JC.
Groningen 2 – 1 PEC Zwolle
