Groningen, Recent FormThe FC Groningen squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 6-0 away defeat at the hands of PSV.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 17 goals in that same period. Dennis van der Ree will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 8 games in a row.
A win for FC Groningen is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
Emmen, Recent FormThe FC Emmen squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Fortuna Sittard, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Dick Lukkien will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 9 of their last 10 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 9 of their 10 away league games.
Richairo Živković will be hoping to create problems for FC Groningen in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for FC Emmen.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
In their past 5 meetings, Trots van het Noorden's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Emmen will have to take their chances when they come. Emmen have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Groningen. Playing away from home, Emmen have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Groningen.
In the last 5 league meetings between these sides, Groningen have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Emmen in all 5 matches.
