PSV vs Groningen Prediction & Betting tips
PSV will cross swords with FC Groningen on Saturday. Both teams have clear goals to play for. PSV wants to enter the Champions League, while Groningen may also have European ambitions.
PSV Eindhoven:
With five matches to play, PSV is not completely eliminated in the battle for the national championship, but unless Ajax has a gigantic breakdown, the second place for the Brabant players is the highest possible. PSV is now in second place, with 61 points achieved. Number three AZ Alkmaar also has that number, but based on the goal difference, PSV is the number two. Two weeks ago the team of trainer Roger Schmidt booked a business 0-2 victory in the away match against VVV-Venlo.
The remaining PSV program is not too difficult. The toughest challenge in advance is on the last day of play, when the game against FC Utrecht is on the program. But before that, PSV will play three more home games, of which the first on Saturday, against FC Groningen. Schmidt has few problems in the run-up to the duel with the Groningers. With the exception of the long-injured, everyone on the Eindhoven side is present. Players and coach can look forward to Saturday’s match, because for the first time in a long time there is an audience in the stands of the Philips Stadium again.
FC Groningen:
FC Groningen is still in a particularly creditable sixth place in the ranking. It should be noted, however, that the green and white are not currently in their best period. Only one of their last five league games was won. In the game of two weeks ago, things went wrong for Danny Buijs’ team. In the Derby of the North, SC Heerenveen in Groningen was 0-2 too strong. Groningen has a considerable number of points, and will probably make it to the play-offs, but Buijs would of course also want his team to start those play-offs in good shape.
Arjen Robben also made his long-awaited return in the match against Heerenveen. Before the winter break, Robben was injured in the home game against PSV, which Groningen eventually lost 1-3. By the way, Robben is not available for Buijs on Saturday. He tries to make it to next week’s game against Sparta Rotterdam. “We have to have a good plan, and execute it properly,” Buijs said on the club website ahead of Saturday’s game. “We know what to expect, we can get started.”
