EREDIVISIE : FEYENOORD vs GRONINGEN


Feyenoord is missing center back Mats Knoester due to injury.

The main man all season long this term for Feyenoord has been winger Steven Berghuis. He has stepped up this season when others have not lived up their expectations, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists. That gives him the lead in each category, and it shows that he is the man that Groningen will have to stop.

Groningen will be missing midfielder Ludovit Reis due to injury.

When Groningen find success, it so often comes through attacking midfielder Jesper Drost. He has assist six times in total already to lead his side and to be amongst the very best in the division.

Feyenoord will begin the midweek fixture list in fourth place on 36 points through 21 matches. They are a full seven back from AZ for the Europa League place that comes with a third place finish. Groningen will begin down in 13th with 22 points. They are six clear of the relegation zone, but a poor run from them could have them in real trouble. They have just one win from their last five matches.

At home, Feyenoord have 18 points from ten matches, which isn't bad but it isn't great, either. They have won five times and lost twice and they are currently unbeaten in their last five matches, picking up three wins and two draws.  Groningen's away form has collect just five points in ten away outings. 

Feyenoord lost at the weekend, but you can almost excuse that due to the fact they had put a lot in to the cup in midweek prior to that. With full concentration back on the league, they should win and keep a clean sheet again.

Feyenoord have not had their best ever season this term in defence of their title win last season, they still look like huge favorites in this match against a team in Groningen that could be relegation contenders if their rivals start to pick up some points.

Score Prediction: Feyenoord 2-0 Groningen
