The Eredivisie season gets underway this Friday with the opening game setup for an interesting encounter between FC Groningen and NAC Breda at the Euroborg Stadion.
Over the years these two teams have met one another on 45 different occasions.
FC Gronigen have the advantage after NAC Breda having won 16 of those games to Breda’s 13. However 16 of the games have also ended in a draw suggesting this can be a closely fought contest at times.
Their last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw in April 2024. Could we see the same again here?
Neither side is expected to be missing anyone in their squads heading into this game.
Groningen could see starts for new signings Etienne Vaessen, Thijs Oosting, Brynjólfur Andersen Willumsson and Finn Stam. With the same applying to Breda who could see Daniel Bielica, Kacper Kostorz, Max Balard, Enes Mahmutovic, Leo Greiml and Raul Paula all feature for the first time.
FC Groningen - Etienne Vaesson, Leandro Bacuna, Thijmen Blokzijl, Marco Rente, Wouter Prins, Rui Mendes, Laros Duarte, Johan Hove, Noam Emeran, Romano Postema, Thom van Bergen
NAC Breda - Daniel Bielica, Leo Greiml, Jan Van den Bergh, Enes Mahmutovic, Boyd Lucassen, Casper Staring, Fredrik Oldrup Jensen, Aime Omgba, Dominik Janosek, Elias Mar Omarsson, Kacper Kostorz
Going into this game Groningen are in fantastic form in comparison to NAC Breda. And having conceded very few goals - especially recently - with Breda struggling to score at all we expect Groningen to breeze through this fixture.
That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing FC Groningen To Win To Nil in this fixture at odds of 5/2. A £10 bet potentially returning up to £35 making this our best value pick for this fixture.
