NEC Nijmegen and FC Groningen meet in the Eredivisie, with the hosts sitting 12th on 10 points from 9 matches, while the visitors are 7th with 14 points from 9 matches as well. Both need points to move up the table and pull away from the lower group. NEC Nijmegen are unbeaten in 5 matches, but drew 4 of those, and have just drawn 2-2 at home in the league before winning 4-2 in the Europa League in midweek. FC Groningen's form has been up and down, having won 5-1 at home but then lost 2-5 in their latest match, so their defense is a point to watch. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end, as both teams score and concede at similar rates. NEC Nijmegen will look to dominate possession and try to build play from the back, while FC Groningen will likely wait for counter-attacking chances and use pace from the flanks, a pattern that has given them a chance to pick up points away from home.
