In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against NEC Nijmegen, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against PEC Zwolle, by (2‑2).

In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Groningen arrives for this round after their cancelled match against the strong Ajax. Even away from home, the team showed grit, and now needs to transform that effort into absolute focus. Against a confident and in-form Excelsior, any slip-up could be costly. There's no room for complacency, much less for lapses in concentration: the opponent is in great form and bites at every inch of the pitch. Groningen, however, knows it has the resources to react, provided the team maintains tactical discipline and a competitive spirit. Seeking a consistent game, they arrive determined to prove they remain firmly in the fight for better positions.
