Groningen vs Vitesse Prediction: Groningen to continue Vitesse’s despair

FC Groningen, a team sitting comfortably in the middle of the table of the Eredivisie, is playing Vitesse, which is struggling at the bottom of the league. Prior to round 5, Frank Wormuth was able to take the home team to the 9th place in the Eredivisie table on 5 points. Thomas Letsch leads the opposing team, who currently sit in the 16th position, having taken one point. FC Groningen remained unbeaten at home this season, while Vitesse earned the only point so far from their draw with RKC Waalwijk in the last round.

Groningen is playing fairly well this season, they only had bad match against the champion Ajax when they lost 6:1 as visitors. This season at home they have one win and one draw and against Vitesse in front of home fans they should perform well and a home in is very realistic prediction in this match.

The visitors have only 1 point earned in 4 previous matches, 14 goals conceded and 5 goals scored. It seems that they can’t find their form this season and they struggle mostly with the defensive part of the team. They play bad as visitors since the second part of the last season and this trip to Groningen comes in a very bad period for them.

Groningen must use the bad form and mood of the opponent and to win at home ground. Since the visitors have many troubles with the defense, this is a perfect opportunity for the host to improve its’ goalscoring record. I expect Groningen to win with at least 2 goals difference.
