Groningen vs Heerenveen Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday it will be time for the Derby of the North again. FC Groningen takes on SC Heerenveen in-house. Which of the two knows to write this game to his name.
Fc Groningen:
FC Groningen took another three-pointer last week, after that three rounds in a row had not been successful. And for those three points, the northerners had to work hard. They mainly got themselves into trouble in the away match against VVV-Venlo. Azor Matusiwa quickly picked up two yellow cards, which meant that the green and white had to continue with ten men. However, they held their ground, and a nice, late goal from Mohamed el Hankouri resulted in a 0-1 victory in Limburg.
Earlier this season, Groningen played a 1-1 draw at Heerenveen. Due to the corona rules, Danny Buijs was unable to attend that game at the time. The coach will be there on Sunday. “I think it is very close together, you could see that in the first match,” Buijs spoke about the balance of power between his team and Heerenveen. “We have to reach a good level, then we will be able to beat Heerenveen,” said the Groningen coach.
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen is currently not its best of the season. The Frisians have not made a too strong impression recently and only manage to win every now and then. Last Sunday, Ajax lost home for the second time in a short time. After the 0-3 cup defeat in the semi-final of the cup, things also went wrong against the team from Amsterdam in the competition. This time Heerenveen offered more serious resistance, in a match in which a little more would have been possible with a little more fortune than the 1-2 defeat that was now on the scoreboard of the Abe Lenstra Stadium after ninety minutes.
Now the derby awaits the neighbors from Groningen. Trainer Johnny Jansen spoke about Sunday’s match on the club website. “The game is alive internally, but for the real derby feeling you need supporters in the stadium,” Jansen knew. “But unfortunately we’ve gotten used to it.” Pawel Bochniewicz was injured against Ajax, and the Polish defender is not fit for the derby in time.
