Twente vs Groningen and Betting Tips | December 15th 2024

Twente will host Groningen at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday afternoon in another round of the 2024-25 Dutch Eredivisie campaign. The fifth-placed hosts will be hoping to continue their commendable season as they seek to finish in the European qualification spots in back-to-back seasons.

Twente’s humbling 6-1 loss against PSV Eindhoven last weekend was their first loss in seven league games and the home side will be keen to put that defeat behind them and continue in the fine fashion they have displayed for most of this season.

Groningen picked up points for only the third time in 10 league games with a goalless draw against PEC Zwolle last weekend. The newly-promoted side started off the league season in commendable form, going unbeaten in their first five games but have since struggled to get results with only two wins in their last 10 league matches.

The visitors sit 14th in the table with 16 points from 15 matches. They are five points above the relegation playoff spot and will be looking to widen that gap here.

Twente vs Groningen Prediction

The hosts are slight favorites going into the weekend considering their consistent performances against teams below them in the league. Their unbeaten home record will also serve as a confidence boost against visitors who have won only one away game in the league all season.

Groningen will be satisfied to pick up just a point against a better side and will hope to replicate their recent defensive solidity of two clean sheets in the last two league games. They have, however, lost their last five away league games and could lose here as well.

Prediction: Twente 2-0 Groningen
