Groningen vs Twente Prediction
Groningen have a strong home record but haven't got a win in the fixture since September 2017. Dick Likkien's side have been defensively resolute in front of their fans, and that compactness could be crucial to claim maximum points.
Twente, for their part, have struggled on their travels, with one win in their last six games, losing two. However, their games have typically been high-scoring, with their last seven away outings witnessing goals at both ends and six producing at least four goals.
Although either side could nick a win, expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
