Twente vs Groningen Prediction & Betting tips
FC Groningen needed a win on PSV last week to have a good starting position in the final round of the game. The Groningers would not have had it in their own hands, but now they have to win at Twente and hope Heracles will lose at Feyenoord. Can the Groningers get the win in the Grolsch Veste?
Twente :
It was a strange season for FC Twente. In Enschede they had taken the worst scenario at the start of the season. The match competition seemed more realistic than a place in the left rhyme, especially because taste maker Ziyech had to be forced to sell to Ajax. Twente exceeded all expectations and played the most attractive football under trainer René Hake. The other side of the story is that Twente did not play for the whole season, as the club was excluded from European football by the KNVB as a result of financial mismanagement. At that time, that was seen as a small measure. After all, Twente would not go for European football, but after this strong season, it will still be ugly. The annoying thing for Twente is that the penalty will take another year.
A significant part of Twente’s success comes on the shoulders of Enes Ünal. The Turkish striker, hired from Manchester City, impressed the Eredivisie and hit nineteen-time goal. Last Sunday, he seemed to score his eighteenth goal at Sparta, but Ünal was unjustly blown back for hands. This happened ten minutes ahead of time with a 1-0 defeat, causing Twente to suffer a small defeat. On the basis of the game image, however, a defeat was correct. Sparta proved fatter and knew to create more. Hake: “Sparta played more aggressively and could claim more victory, even though we both got equal opportunities. Sparta’s intention was better. ”
The trainer also went on to the rejected goal. “The leadership was very moderate. The referee deserved us a goal. But these are things we do not influence, but I am very dissatisfied with the attitude and the aggression shown by the team. It seemed like we did everything to make Sparta win. That’s why I would miss Sparta, but it seemed, “said the trainer. Twente may have Joachim Andersen on Sunday, returning from a suspension. He replaces Peet Bees that has just been suspended.
Probable setup FC Twente
Marsman; In Avest, Thesker, Andersen, Van der Lely; Mokotjo, Jensen, Klich; George, Ünal, Celina
Groningen:
For FC Groningen, the playoffs are still within range, which you would not expect in the number ten of the rankings. The Groningers can win two places on the final day. The difference between SC Heerenveen and Heracles Almelo is “only” three points. Given that Heerenveen is playing a home match against NEC, it must be strange if Ernest Faber’s team still wants to take the rival from Friesland. The acquisition of Heracles is more realistic. The Heraclied people must visit Feyenoord – which is the championship match – and in addition, the mutual goal balance is in favor of FC Groningen. The Northerners must of course see themselves from FC Twente, something that they only managed once in the last ten years.
Last week, Groningen picked up in the Euroborg against PSV. The Eindhoveners had to win to keep pressure on Ajax, but the home team knew the best start. Within the quarter, Mimoun Mahi scored for the 1-0, his seventeenth hit of the season. Bryan Linssen was still close to the 2-0, but PSV eventually got better in the game. 59 minutes into the game, Sergio Padt had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. PSV still got big chances, while Groningen did not know anything to create. “We had to get back to this season often from a difficult position and, in any case, to the final day in the race for the playoffs. I am very satisfied, “Faber said.
On Sunday in Enschede, Tom Hiariej is missing due to a suspension. Furthermore, Kasper Larsen is still out of the roulation with an achilles tendon injury. It is still awaiting who will replace the right back. Etiënne Reijnen is the most logical option. Spits Tom van Weert is fit again after months of absence, but probably Faber leaves the duo Mahi-Linssen.
Probable setup FC Groningen
Padt; Reijnen, Memisevic, Van Nieff, Davidson; Drost, Bacuna, Jenssen, Idrissi; Mahi, Linssen
