My Prediction
FC Twente by 2If there's anything you can predict in the unpredictable world of the Eredivisie, it's that it manages to always keep us on our toes. Let's get down to the meat and potatoes of this FC Twente and FC Groningen matchup.
In the FC Twente corner, we've got Lars Unnerstall and Przemysław Tytoń protecting the net for FC Twente. Seems like they've been sharing sniffles because their saving skills leave something to be desired - cough, Unnerstall's 0 saves, cough. But nevermind, every day is a new day.
Leading the Twente parade is Sem Steijn; the man's got a nose for goal with 3 goals in the last month and Ricky van Wolfswinkel showing his worth right behind him. On Groningen's side, Etienne Vaessen tends goal while their fleet of foot includes Marvin Peersman, Stije Resink and Luciano Valente, all putting good numbers.
Looking at past matches, we've got a stalemate situation, the last meet on Feb 05, 2023 ending in an FC Groningen 1 vs FC Twente 1 tie. Let's not forget the regular season where FC Groningen shows a rather lackluster record of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses. Twente seems to have the upper hand here with a healthier 8-4-3 record.
Recent results paint a mixed picture of victories and crushing defeats both ways. FC Twente's latest loss from PSV Eindhoven still stings, but their wins over Go Ahead Eagles and Fortuna Sittard show their potential. On the other hand, FC Groningen's recent standstill against PEC Zwolle and defeats by PSV Eindhoven and NEC Nijmegen don't exactly ring victory bells.
All said and done, with the weight of the evidence tipping Twente's way, I'd say:
