Feyenoord set for easy win over Groningen

Feyenoord host Groningen on Thursday night at the Stadion Feijenoord, as the home side look to make up ground on the top-three in the Eredivisie.

Feyenoord are currently fifth-place in the Eredivisie, in the Europa League qualification places. However, the home side are seven points off third-place AZ Alkmaar, who occupy the Europa League spot.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team have been inconsistent of late, winning two, losing two and drawing one of their last five games in the Dutch top-flight. Last time out the home side suffered a 1-0 defeat at VVV.

Feyenoord’s recent games in the Eredivisie have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last ten games.

The home side’s recent home record in the Eredivisie has been mixed. However, Van Bronckhorst’s team have lost just two of their last 33 games on home soil in the Dutch top-flight.

Feyenoord are unbeaten in 12 games against the visitors in all competitions and will be confident of continuing that record in this clash.

Groningen heads into this clash 13th place in the Eredivisie table, just six points clear of the relegation play-off spots. Last time out the visitors suffered a 2-0 defeat at Vitesse Arnhem.

The defeat in Arnhem means that Ernest Faber’s team have won just one of their last seven games in the Dutch top-flight. Their recent games in the Eredivisie have been high scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 12 games in the Eredivisie.

The visitors have won just one of their last 11 away games in the Dutch top-flight, suffering eight defeats in the process. Their recent away games have been high scoring, with 11 of their last 14 away games in the Eredivisie producing over 2.5 goals.

Forebet predicts that Feyenoord will record a comfortable victory in a high-scoring encounter.
