Betting tip and prediction for this match between Groningen vs Heerenveen

The best prediction for Groningen vs Heerenveen in the Eredivisie is to bet on under 2.5 goals.

Match preview: Groningen vs Heerenveen

Groningen and Heerenveen will meet at Euroborg in the 2nd round of the Eredivisie. Historically, the direct confrontations at this stadium lean towards the visiting side, with the visitors winning 2 out of the last 4 matches, drawing 1 and losing 1. However, in their most recent clash at this stadium on 25 January 2025, FC Groningen secured a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to Luciano Valens’ goal in the 63rd minute. It’s essential to consider the home/away performance, as both teams display significantly different results based on their location.

Team analysis: Groningen

The home team comes into this match following a disappointing 4-1 defeat against AZ in their opening league match. Groningen tends to perform better at home, boasting a record of 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in their last 15 home games, scoring 21 goals and conceding just 11. In contrast, their away form has been poor, with 1 win, 2 draws, and 12 losses, conceding 35 goals and scoring only 11 in the same number of matches. They have struggled defensively, conceding in every one of their last 10 matches. While their attack has found the net in 8 of those 10 games, home matches often witness fewer goals, with 9 of their last 17 games ending with under 1.5 goals and 11 with less than 2.5 goals. Groningen also often concedes the first goal, having done so in 8 out of 15 occasions without managing a comeback.

Now, having suffered a heavy defeat away, Groningen will need to focus on tightening their defence. If they can improve their solidity at the back, they stand a better chance against Heerenveen.

Team analysis: Heerenveen

The visitors enter this second round fresh from a 1-1 draw against FC Volendam, a match that left them with plenty to ponder. Heerenveen has demonstrated a tendency to perform poorly away, recording only 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses in their last 30 matches, with totals of 15 goals scored and 27 conceded. In contrast, they have enjoyed a better home record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and just 2 losses, scoring 26 and conceding 19. In their latest 10 away matches, Heerenveen has managed just 1 win, with 1 draw and 8 losses. Defensive frailties have marred their performances, conceding goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, yet their attack has found the net in 9 of those 10. Throughout their last 20 away matches in all competitions, Heerenveen has scored 7 of 19 goals late in games (between the 76th and 90th minutes).

In the draw against Volendam, Heerenveen struggled defensively and will need to address these issues. At this early stage of the season, accumulating points—whether through wins or draws—is crucial for establishing momentum in the league. With Groningen coming off a painful defeat, Heerenveen could capitalise on any weaknesses shown by the home side.
