Prediction

  • Utrecht defeated RKC Waalwijk 3-2 at home in their last Eredivisie match to extend their unbeaten start to the season to seven (Wins: 6 Draws: 1 Loss: 0), leaving them in second spot on 19 points through seven matches.
  • Groningen is in 11th place with nine points after eight matches. Groningen lost their last Eredivisie match 3-1 at Johan Cruijff ArenA against Ajax, extending their winless streak to six (Wins: 0 Draws: 3 Losses: 3).
  • When the two sides last met in Eredivisie action, Utrecht came out on top 2-1 at Euroborg in April 2023. Tasos Douvikas opened the scoring for the Domstedelingen in the 52nd minute. Bas Dost also found the net. Oliver Antman scored the only goal for the Groningers in the 55th minute.
  • Noah Ohio has been the leading attacking threat for Utrecht, netting on three occasions.
  • In attack, Jorg Schreuders has been a critical performer for Groningen this season. The midfielder is the team's top scorer with three goals, one of which was the first tone-setting of the match.
  • On home soil this season, Groningen has secured five points (Wins: 1, Draws: 2, Losses: 1) from a possible 12 on offer in four Eredivisie contests. Groningen are amid a three-match home winless streak (Wins: 0, Draws: 2, Losses: 1) dating to August 25 against AZ.
  • Utrecht have not been defeated in league away matches this season, with two wins and one draw away from Stadion Galgenwaard. The Domstedelingen are on a six-match away unbeaten streak (Wins: 3 Draws: 3 Losses: 0). They haven't been defeated since March 31 against Feyenoord.
