Analysis Groningen

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against PSV, by (4‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Heracles Almelo, by (4‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 34 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Groningen has won 1, tied 1 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 19 of the last 22 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 17 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Groningen, on the other hand, are showing some fluctuations. Although they've also won twice, they've lost twice and have a neutral goal difference, with nine goals scored and nine conceded. Defensive inconsistency is one of the points to watch out for, especially against opponents with a high attacking volume, as is the case with Utrecht. Even so, the team has the quality and ability to pick up points away from home, but will need to be more organised and efficient to avoid another setback.

Confirmed Lineup: Etienne Vaessen , Marco Rente, Thijmen Blokzijl, Marvin Peersman, Dies Janse, David van der Werff, Tika de Jonge, Stije Resink , Jorg Schreuders, Thom van Bergen, Younes Taha.
Coach: D. Buijs.
