Groningen are having a torrid season; they haven’t won after their opening game of the Eredivisie campaign and will go into their home game against Twente on Match Day 8 as the underdogs. The hosts are stuck in the relegation zone – 17th with five points from seven matches, while Vitesse have gained some good momentum and head here with 13 points, and are placed sixth. The hosts are winless in their last six matches, losing four, and have managed just one clean sheet in the last seven. They have failed to score in three of the last six matches and four of their seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals with Groningen conceding most of the goals. In three of the last five matches alone, they have conceded two or more goals and going into this game, they are coming from a 3-0 loss to Ajax. It has been a shambolic run for Groningen lately; in the last four matches, they’ve had four players sent off. Their brightest player so far has been Cyril Ngonge, who has scored three goals in the last five matches, but he is one of the players who have been sent off in the last four matches. At home, Groningen are winless in their last seven league games, and they’ve failed to even score in four of them.

Twente are in much better shape going to this game; they have four straight wins and have scored three goals or more in their last three matches. They however have only one clean sheet in the last five games, but have failed to score in just one of their seven matches so far in the season. Ahead of this game, they beat Heerenveen 3-2 away from home, and they have a knack for early goals. Twente have scored the first goal in the opening 10 minutes in each of their last three matches, and they’ve led at half time in the last three as well. Robin Propper and Ricky van Wolfswinkel have been the top men for Twente in the last few games. The two have scored three goals each in the last four matches. In the last two away league matches, Twente have scored seven goals, and they go to this game unbeaten in six matches against Groningen, winning three. They’ve led at half time in three of their last five meetings.
