Groningen NEC betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The away team handicap odds are too high. NEC is stronger than the home team, so the tendency in this match is that there will be a lot of struggle in the midfield. The final outcome should be a draw or a NEC win.

Preview
Groningen and NEC face at Euroborg, in a match for the 19th round of the Eredivisie. In the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 25‑10‑2015, these teams have tied (1‑1). The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 1 draw and 2 wins for each team in the last 5 head‑to‑heads. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, on 22‑12‑2013, for the Eredivisie, Groningen won by (5‑2). M. de Leeuw (14' , 49' and 70' ), F. Kostić (24' ) and R. van Eijden (27' Own goal) scored for Groningen and C. Hemlein (57' ) and A. Jahanbakhsh (63' ) for NEC. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 9th and 5th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 5th best team in home matches and the 11th best in away matches.

This is an important match for 5th placed NEC, since they need to win points, but in this match they are up against a competitive team, one that doesn’t usually give away points.

Analysis Groningen

After 7 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, the home team is in the 9th position, havinf won 26 points so far. In the last match, they have lost at home against Utrecht by (1‑4), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑1) an away match against Heracles. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 17 conceded, against 20 points won at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 9 conceded. In the last 9 home league matches Groningen has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 20 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 9 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

The home team isn’t going through a good form moment. They were once amongst the first 5 of the table, but they have dropped to the 9th position, after 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 4 matches. In the last match they had a disappointing exhibition and lost 4-1 against Utrecht.

The team should play in a 4-2-3-1 formation and will not be able to count on Dino Islamovic, Mahi and Burnet, all recovering from injuries, but Linseen is once again available.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Padt, Hans Hateboer, Abel Tamata, Etienne Reijnen, Johan Kappelhof, Rasmus Lindgren, Simon Tibbling, Albert Rusnák, Michael De Leeuw, Alexander Sørloth, Bryan Linssen.
Coach: D. Buijs.

Unlike the opponent, NEC is in a good form moment, currently in the 5th position of the league. The away team comes to this match after 2 consecutive wins, the last by 1-0, against Willem 2.

NEC also plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but with a more offensive strategy than Groningen, since they make good use of the wings, but are also efficient attacking through the centre, with offensive support from the central midfielders and even central defenders. NEC should have all players available, including Kane, who has recently recovered from an injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Brad Jones, Todd Kane, Lucas Woudenberg, Dario Đumić, Wojciech Golla, Marcel Appiah, Navarone Foor, Janio Bikel, Gregor Breinburg, Christian Santos, Anthony Limbombe.
