PSV Eindhoven vs Groningen Prediction: Injury Woes Can't Dampen The Lightbulbs Fiery Offense!

PSV Eindhoven will welcome Groningen to the Philips Stadion in the 13th round of the Eredivisie. 

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between PSV Eindhoven vs. Groningen, match facts, probable lineups, and betting odds for you to consider!

Form: WLWWW

PSV Eindhoven entered the international break full of confidence. A commanding 4-0 UEFA Champions League win over Girona followed by a 3-0 league win against NAC Breda served as a much-needed response to their disappointing 3-2 away defeat against Ajax Amsterdam, which halted a ten-match winning streak.

The Lightbulbs have been unassailable at home this season, winning each of their last five matches, and it's undeniable they'll want to build on this momentum to further solidify their position at the top. After 12 games, they currently occupy first place and have maintained a five-point cushion over second-placed FC Utrecht. 

Formation: 4-3-3

Benitez; Karsdorp, Boscagli, Flamingo, Dams; Tillman, Junior, Saibari; Bakayoko, Pepi, Lang

Form: WLLLL

Groningen have no fond memories of their recent encounters against PSV Eindhoven, having won just one of their last 19 encounters (L13, D5). Their league form this season has been equally underwhelming, with three wins recorded in their last 12 games, leaving them in 13th place in the league standings.

Trots van der Noorden left no stone unturned before the international hiatus. A narrow 1-0 victory against Sparta Rotterdam at home couldn't have come at a better time reigniting hope among their fans after suffering six consecutive defeats while failing to score in four of those matches. 

Formation: 4-4-2

Vaessen; Bacuna, Rente, Stam, Prins; Schreuders, Resink, Hove, Valente; Van Bergen, Postema

• PSV Eindhoven are currently on a five-match winning streak when playing at home in the Eredivisie.
• Groningen have lost six of their last ten matches in the Eredivisie.
• PSV Eindhoven averages 3.6 goals per game when playing at home, and Groningen averages 0.83 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 58 meetings, PSV Eindhoven have won 38 times, Groningen have won 8 times, and there have been 12 draws, with the goal difference being 134-50 in favor of PSV Eindhoven. 

From my point of view, the visitors will have a difficult time trying to secure a favorable outcome here. They have lost five consecutive away matches in this fixture, and that's the reason I won't be expecting much from them.

PSV Eindhoven do have the firepower to cause a lot of problems for their opponents in this impending encounter. Despite the team being riddled with an injury crisis, I believe they'll still be able to score more than two goals.
