Prediction

  • Groningen's last Eredivisie match ended in a 2-0 defeat against Twente at De Grolsch Veste, leaving them in 14th place with 16 points after 16 matches. Heracles faced a significant loss as well, suffering a 5-2 defeat against Feyenoord at Stadion Feijenoord, which extended their winless streak to five games.
  • In their previous encounter, Heracles triumphed over Groningen with a 1-0 victory at Euroborg in April 2022, thanks to a goal from Nikolai Laursen in the 22nd minute. Recently, Heracles have had the upper hand against Groningen, winning five consecutive matches since August 2019, outscoring the Groningers nine goals to three during this stretch.
  • Looking at individual performances this season, Groningen's top attacking threats have been Jorg Schreuders, Brynjólfur Willumsson, and Leandro Bacuna, who have scored three, two, and two goals, respectively. On the other hand, Luka Kulenovic has been the standout player for Heracles, leading the club with six goals. This tally ties him for the fifth highest in the league for the 2024/2025 season, with four of those goals being match openers.
  • At Asito Stadion this season, Heracles have recorded two wins, four draws, and two losses in eight Eredivisie matches. They are currently on a three-match unbeaten streak at home, dating back to November 2 against NAC Breda. In contrast, Groningen has struggled away from home, with just one win, one draw, and six losses in their league away games. They are also trying to break a seven-match winless streak on the road, having last won an Eredivisie away game on August 17 against RKC Waalwijk.
