Groningen vs Willem II Prediction & Betting tips
Groningen :
In terms of players FC Groningen material does not belong to the eleventh place. Yet we find Groningen it back in the right row, but FC Groningen can still qualify for the playoffs for European football. As FC Groningen wants a shot at the ninth place of Ernest Faber, the team has to play better than in the away games against Roda JC. In the Parkstad Limburg Stadium Groningen were completely outwitted and it was only right that the Kerkrade Egyptians won the game 3-1. Faber spoke after the game about a complete off-day for his team: “We had a complete off-day. If you give away the goals that will be difficult to win a game. ”
Against Roda JC Bryan Linssen was sent off the pitch and FC Groningen picked up this season seven red cards. The 26-year Linssen was the last weeks just fine on shot with four goals in his last three games, but the next two games should watch from the stands. Faber was unhappy about the red card out of his assailant “He cons the team and himself, because he’s soon back on the bench. That is not good behavior and that we should not have. “Still, Faber may go and consult one himself, because FC Groningen picked up this season most red cards of all Premier League clubs and that is quite striking.
FC Groningen won not the last eight matches, but nevertheless they keep – purely by the punishment of FC Twente and cup finalists – still view European football. The backlog at Willem II is four points and Groningen today must therefore be overcome if they want to make something of this season. Despite the dramatic series of FC Groningen Faber confident that the good is going to come with Pride of the North: “The glass is still half full. But we will have to do it yourself. The coming time will be more and more emphasis will be placed on the results. ”

Willem II :
Pre Willem II was perhaps regarded as relegation candidates, but we now know better. The Tricolores lost just one of their last five games and are currently at a respectable ninth position. Last weekend was the eighth time this season won a league and Tilburg have already won more than after 26 games in 34 games last season. In its own Koning Willem II Stadion took the Tricolores Sunday against PEC Zwolle and Erik Falkenburg put Willem II in the first half lead. In injury time Thom Haye made the 2-0 of Tilburg, but the second half was especially Kostas Lamprou important for Tilburg – Lamprou loved Willem II against PEC Zwolle in the leg and the little Greek this season held nine times its target clean.
In the first half Willem II played a good match against the visitors from Zwolle. After the break the Blues Fingers got some chances to level the score, but Lamprou loved Willem II so the leg. Yet Erwin van de Looi was not dissatisfied with the play of his team in the second half: “In the second half I enjoyed the fact that we wanted to win.” The Tilburg so defeated PEC Zwolle, but Van de Looi did see Dico Koppers with an injury left the field and the 25-year-old Koppers is off for a while with an ankle injury.
The victory over PEC Zwolle Willem II now has three points more than last season. In season 2015/2016 also Tricolores finished in ninth position, but gave no time right to participate in the playoffs. Not degrade, the objective of Willem II in mid-August, but now they are already thinking about European football in Tilburg. Erik Falkenburg there believes that the Tilburg can continue their form: “Why we will be able to pick up any points in Groningen? We can win there. The higher we finish, the better it is. ”
